Hi, I replaced mine on my 505 gti '89 2 years ago with a genuine one from p504 services. From memory there is a grub screw on the side of the shift lever, then the whole thing slides of a metal shaft that runs down into the gearbox. I can remember where the grub screw is exactly though!!

be careful when you take it off
they come off easily when the grub screw is removed but the reason i say be careful is you may need to put it back on if you have bought an aftermarket one
my missus thought she would get a nice looking one from some place once for the blue 604 we have/had and when we went to fit it it went on alright but the lockout botton to prevent kicking reverse from neutral accidently type thing wouldn't work
no matter what i did without totally remaking this thing could we get it to actuate the lockout so the lever would stay in park
you need a lever with the lift up handle on them not the button type that are commonly sold
