My 5-speed shifter is getting kind of squeaky and it seems like it needs lubrication in the area under the shift lever boot. How do I access this area ? Do I need to pull the console ? Is it accessible from beneath the car ? Does the shifter boot some how come off so that it can be lifted up ?

Removal of the trim is very tricky. I strongly recommend you purchase a shop manual, which outlines the procedure in great detail. Try eBay or
