The bottom of the shift handle is a "blade", and it is retained by a couple flat springs inside the shifter base.
I always used a thin piece of aluminum on either side (a steel scale might work, too). Insert it between the shift handle and the inside of the base to defeat the clips and the handle should slip right out. It just snaps back in for installation.
You could keep that blade base/snap in feature and weld whatever shifter handle you wanted to the top of it (like the factory did).
