There is a 10mm nut and bolt hidden in the rubber boot (took me a while to find when I swapped in my BPT). That disconnects it from the transmission. From the other end where the shifter is should be easy too, though I am not positive what is there. My guess is there's only 1 bolt, but check the online shop manual, even if its not your year, it should be similar.

uhm are you referring to the lower of the two shifter rods? or the part that goes from the lower shifter rod to the small rod inside of the boot that goes into the trans... the later is the part i'm reffering to.. i have a pic from the online manual but not sure how to post it
