This is really easy and self explanitory. Just get under there and look.

Get IN your car, take a phillops head driver and unscrew your center console. Take off your shifter knob and lift the console out of the way. You'll see a rubber boot that pretty much keeeps dirt ect. out of your car from below . . take it out if ya can.
Well . . You are pretty much done in there.
Now find a way to get underneith your ride.
Either crawl under it or use a lift . . either way, here's what you'll see:
There are 2 rods under there . . they are just above your exhaust. Those are your shift rods . . follow the one that goes up into your floor. That's the one you'll have to drop out.
You'll see that there's a bracket that hooks it to the bottom of the car. You'll have to get a socket up in there and remove it.
When you get it out, you'll have to deal with the exhaust to get it to all drop down.
You'll find that a nice pry bar will assist you in this part, lol
The shifter has a ball that may be snugged into place so you'll have to pull/pry on it a bit to get it to pop out/down. After the linkage and oem shifter drop down, you'll see how it all works.
The shifter is connected at the bottom using a bolt . . that's all that stands between you and the new short throw shifter being in stalled.
After you pop the bolt out, you can re-install the new s.t. shifter the exact same way you took it apart . . just reverse the process!

I did my 4th and 5th gen in less than an hour. You'll lov the differance!

Good luck, hope I helped for now.
