On my '89, and actually every other manual car I've ever owned or driven, it just unscrews. Like a nut. Just twist to the left. Lefty loosey, righty tighty. Easy stuff man.

If its a cheap aftermarket **** you can untwist the bottom and its held in place by 3, 3/32 set screws. If not get a set of channel locks and go to town

FWIW The stock shift **** on my TJ had a nut under the shiftpattern , I used a small screwdriver to pry off the shift pattern button then took a Deepwell socket to remove the nut an the shift **** came right off . My TJ had an AX15 also
