My shift button came apart and now I have to stick a flat screw driver where the button was located to force down the lever inside to switch gears. If anyone can help me with a link to order the specific shift **** and how to properly replace it would help tremendously. Thank you!

 

That **** is T shaped and at the Front of the **** or the Dash Side of it there is a slot inside the slot is a Staple shaped clip that holds it on. You can remove it with a small flat blade screw driver just pry it out. You should be able to find one at a salvage yard that has a Monte Carlo in the 5th Gen group. I think I may have one if you can't find one where you are at. Pictures show the details of the console and shifter.

 

You have no idea how long I've been online researching this for answers, thank you this was really helpful!

 

here are a couple of shots from the service manual that explain some of it. They don't give as much detail as I had hoped.
I am glad I was able to help.



from the service manual the shift button removal the shifter handle is different but it shows how to do what I explained earlier

shifter and console controls lights etc.

 

I really appreciate this!!
Thanks again!
