Makeing first gear selectable on a 2.73 car

I posted before and was told to cut the plastic, I popped off the armrest on my friend's 94 Trans Am and could not find what needed to be cut. Could anyone tell me the location of that damn piece of plastic???

You dont need to cut or remove anything.

Put the shifter in 2nd.
Gasp the handle firmly
****** it down into 1st gear. It will break the retainer in doing so.

Sounds rough, but it works.
