Hey HNJDBV
Remove four screws and the shift boot trim plate securing the shift tower boot to the floor panel and the insulator.
Remove the shift lever from the transmission shift housing lever.
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
Remove four bolts securing the shift housing to the transmission.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the shift lever is positioned into the mechanical 3rd or 4th gear prior to removal of the shift housing from the transmission. The transmission must remain in this state when the shift housing is removed.
Do not disassemble the transmission shift housing. Internal parts for this shift housing are not available. Opening the shift housing voids the warranty.
When removing the shift housing from the transmission, use the exposed bolts on the base of the housing. Do not use the bolts under the rubber boot located at the top of the housing.
Remove the insulator from the transmission case.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Install the insulator to the transmission case.
Install four bolts securing the shift housing to the transmission.
Tighten shift housing bolts to 9 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
After tightening the four bolts securing the shift housing to the transmission, the shifter can be engaged into other shift positions.
Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheers, Ken

The proceedure for the most common trans used in '95 is; under the rubber boot on the shifter at the base of the lever should be 4 bolts. Remove these bolts and the lever should pull straight up. Note; be sure the trans is in neutral before pulling the lever out.
Now the rest of the story. There are 3 manual transmissions used in '95 S-10s. The name and # should be either cast into the main case, or on a tag somewhere. The #s are:
Borgwarner T5
New Venture 1500
NV3500/5LM 60
If you can't find an identification tag, give me the VIN #, and I can research it. Hope this helps.

Okay. So, I didn’t know this, and I took the bolts out and pulled my shifter out. Is it not fixable now? Do I need a new transmission now??
