I think you need to put it in reverse for the shift forks to clear to lift up the cover, been a while. The shift lever is not your problem. However, you'll probably want to remove that as well, (after putting it in reverse), to do that all you do is press down and twist the spring loaded cup that the roll pins engage. A pair of pliers comes in handy for this.
