So, am I correct in thinking my next step is to drive that pin straight upwards until the shifter can comes loose and be removed from up inside the car?
While I'm asking questions...
I didn't get any shims with my shifter. Is that going to be a problem? I haven't seen any shims yet during the removal, but I guess that's because I haven't gotten that far yet.
Does anyone have the instructions that came in the box? Am I missing out on important stuff by not having them?
Thank, as always.

Yes that is the pin!
As for shims you shouldn't need new shims as the hurst re-uses the 'cradle' part of the shifter. If it fits well now it should be the same after.
