1. Pull down chrome collar and carefully unscrew and remove the stock shift knob.
2. Remove the front console cover. Pull up from the front to unclip the clips and remove from the vehicle.
3. Remove the 2 screws securing the front part of the console. Remove any additional screws that may be holding the center part of the console in place, this may vary by year and model. Lift the 2 tabs shown to the right over the center section of the console so that they rest on the outside of the console assembly.
4. Spread the front sections of the console away from the center console to unclip the 2 clips securing them in place. This may be simplified by pushing from the inside with a hard object next to the clip.
5. Pull the center console to the rear of the vehicle ensuring the sides of the front section of the console remain apart and out of the way. Lifting from the rear up and over the handbrake, the console can now be removed from the vehicle.
6. Disconnect the shift cable from the original shifter by removing the cotter pin and sliding the cable off the pin. Remove the four bolts holding the shift assembly to the floor pan and pop out the stock bushings. Replace the bushings with the Aluminum TWM bushings and bolt down the assembly again using the M8 x 24 washers and stock bolts.
6. Install the TWM shift adapter by sliding it on to the original shift cable mounting point. Be sure to rotate it back so that the flat back portion rests against the shift rod.
7. Cover the shift housing with a rag to catch any drill chips. Use the TWM short shift adapter as a guide and drill through the rear hole in the adapter, through the stock shift lever with the drill bit provided.
