Help removeing steering column to replace shift lever

Hello,
I have the screws taken off the cover. But I am not sure how to take the cover off so that I can get to where the overdrive shift lever is bolted onto. The key ignition is preventing me from removing the top cover. Is that the part which I will need to remove?

Just need to replace the overdrive shift lever. The overdrive currently doesn't work and only comes on/off when it wants.

Thanks

Cool. One quick question. After reviewing the file. I saw at the very end that i would need to replace the "gearshift lever pin". Is this something I could purchase at any auto store, or will I have to go to the dealer.
