Automatic shifter knob replacement problem 200 1992

The PO had broken the shifter handle, so I removed it to replace it without any problems. When I reassembled it, I discovered that when I pushed the top button to shift into gear, the top button would move. I was able to see a small piece of plastic down between the center shifter metal shaft and the outer metal that surrounds it keeping the center core from moving freely. How can I access that region or remove the center portion to dislodge the obstruction? Thanks.

    The center button in the shifter has 4 prongs that expand and then hold the center piece on the shaft. There should be a spring under the center button. Pull the center button off using two hook tools at each opposite corner of center button, it is tough to remove and the spring may go flying. once the center button is off the rest just come apart. The broken ring of plastic may be what is left over from center button.

      I did get the entire shifter assy off the shifter shaft, but that's where the problem is. Between the center metal center shaft and the tube it goes down into, is where the little piece of broken plastic sits and stops the smooth operation of the center shaft's up & down motion when the shifter handle is fully assembled.
