Installing a short shifter...

Supplies Needed:

A Wratchet w/ metric sockets
Flathead screwdriver
Phillips screwdriver
A Jack
Jackstands
Some WD-40
Alot of patience
Metric wrenches (10mm, 9mm)
Some bearing grease

Procedure:

Step 1: With car off, and on level ground-

Remove the shift knob, and 6 phillips head screws, so that you can take the center console off and can see the shifter assembly.

Step 2: Jack Car up, put jackstands under it-

Find the shift linkage. It extends from the tranny to the shfter. The linkage connects to the shifter, and the shifter is held in by a round bracket. Take the stock bolt (s) that hold the shifter to the linkage out. now push the linkage aside. The exhaust makes the next part a pain in the ass. Use the wratchet to un-bolt the bracket, which is holding the shifter in. Use some WD-40, the bolts are most likely rusty as ####. After the bracket comes loose, pull the shifter down, it should slide right out. There is a rubber boot around it, take it off. You may need the flathead screwdriver to pry it off. Now slide the boot over the shifter ball, make sure you coat the ball with grease before you put the boot back on.

Installation is the reverse of the previous steps.
