Re: s465 muncie
What gear did you have it in? I always put it in neutral and remove the shift lever first.

You don't have to take the top cover off to take the shifter out. You press down on the round seal on the bottom, and turn it, and the shifter comes right out. But it still needs to be in neutral.

Re: s465 muncie
Use the shifter to engauge the reverse gear half way then the top cover should pop right off. To remove the shifter just use a screw driver and a hammer. Stick it in the stamped cover at a corner and tap down at a 45* angle counter clockwise. Should pop right out.
