the shift lever on a C-6? I have removed the kickdown lever but not sure how the shift lever comes off. Are they pushed on with a tight fit? I'm putting a Z gate shifter in and the original lever must be removed and replaced with the B&M supplied lever.
Pull the pan and there should be a big nut you have to remove to get the shift shaft out. When you reassemble make sure the tang aligns back with the shift valve in the valve body.
Unless you have specialized tools there is no way to get teh nut off unless the valve body is out. Even with the valve body out, it is not the easiest nut to get on cleanly. Hawkrod

A floor shift arm is 100 bucks, 66 Tbird is special, Torino/Failrlane column shift is desirable etc... If you going to cut one use one from a pickup or something where they are a dime a dozen. Hawkrod

yes some stuff is getting hard to get but what other shift arm are you going to use that is not rare or in need for someone, cut it and be done with it.
