If you have a mat or carpet you will have to pull it back and on the tranny tunnel remove the screws that hold the shift boot to the floor under that is the tranny remove the bolts holding the shifter flange to the tranny then lift the shifter out.

97F150: that only applies to a M5OD, most of the older 4 speeds have a screw or lock setup on the shifter itself.

On some of the Fords you have to twist the top nylon screw housing off to get the shifter out..it is a bit tricky but should be ok.
