Gear stick removal

[Tomcat]

I am removing the gearbox but before that I need to remove the gear stick.
The rubber cover is removed. I can see the plastic cover down through the gear shift hole. But I can not reach it.

Any suggestions?

Simply because it was handy at the moment I needed it, I used a piece of pvc pipe that I notched for the purpose.

Nice!
Do You have measures on diameter inside and hole width?

Ha! That's it!

@tomcat, I don't have the dimensions, but if I get by my shop tomorrow I'll try put my hands on it to measure.
