How the F... dose one remove the shift lever off a 904 in the car?

What are you having trouble with?? Any pictures???

Are you trying to get the linkages off of the 904??? What year, and model car? Column shift? Console?

We need to know the starting point so we can guide you to the end...

The linkages themselves have clips that must be removed, then the linkages come right off...

The brackets on the trans have bolts & nuts to loosen, then lift the lever off...

No need to cut the floor to remove the linkages....
