I have a have a short shifter. When I took the original shifter out I just disconnected the small cable on the bottom right of the shifter assembly (as stated above). the new shifter did not incorporate the option for the reverse lock. There is an extra small rod that extends from the original shifter to ensure that it locks in place after the key was removed. Not a big deal though. I assumed that this option was not extended to the aftermarket model to maintain compatibility with the cavalier/sunfire models.
As for the shift knob.. there was no way that mine was coming off. I huffed and I puffed... but no luck. I am pretty sure that in order to replace the shifter the knob had to be removed to save the plastic retainer that holds it in place. If you're not too concerned about the old shift knob you may have to use a wrench. As far as I'm aware the shift knob is removable on all models though. You just need to show it whose Boss
