Go to the how to guide, and click on the removing interior pieces. Do you mean the trim around the shift boot. If so, then you have to remove that entire piece and remove the bolts from the bottom to get that trim piece free. Good luck.

the shifter piece is connected to the piece under it. The under piece has to be removed in order to remove the trim around shifter. In 94+ models its different though, since the part comes off by removing a couple of screws. One suggestion I have for everyone, is to sand it down so the surface is all smooth and nice and then prime and paint it. Otherwise your paint will start to peel off after awhile and this method will also give you a nice and clean look. (method is courtesy of curt-klze)
