Yeah, i just went out to my car and pulled the shift boot, and I do have the grey clip. I can see what the guys were talking about when using a socket, and I think I can do it, but I'll prolly go to the local Ford d'ship and see if they have one in stock, and buy it anyway.
Do you have to remove the armrest console? I am thinking that I do to slide the pin (held by the clip) out.
