Default Auto shifter t-handle removal? 80's vert

I recently bought an 83 vert with an automatic and need to get the t-handle off to work on the shifter bezel. How do I do that?????

I can't find any set screws and the handle doesn't appear to be screwed on (like the manual shifter handle).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't seem to be in the Ford shop manuals anywhere, and this has me stumped....

on my 85 there was a small allen set screw hidden, you'd miss it if you didn't look close, glad you got it
