Found these on the web:
1. Separate the shift knob from the shift boot by pulling down gently.
Unscrew the shift knob turning it counterclockwise.

2. Remove the access plate from the bottom of the center console and remove the
2 screws..

3. Remove the drink holder and remove the forward-most screw. The 2 screws
on the bottom do not need to be removed.

4. Remove the 3 screws that hold the shifter trim plate in place.

5. Gently remove the shifter trim plate. Disconnect the clock, cigarette
lighter and the hazard light switch.

6. Loosen and remove the 6mm nut from the short-shift lever.

7. Install the shift adapter using the existing nut without the washer.

8. Slide the shifter cable onto the shift adapter. Apply a drop of Loctite
to the threads and tighten the 6mm bolt.

9. Apply a drop of Loctite to the screw and tighten it snug to the shifter.

10. Reinstall the center console in reverse order.

The DC Short shift adapter is a pretty easy install. Remove the shift cable from the stick, attach the adapter to the original cable attach point, and then attach the cable to the adapter. Finish it off by applying Loctite to an Allen tension screw at the back of the adapter that presses the adapter tight against the stick.

Arrow #1 (to the left) shows the Allen adjust bolt location. Arrow #2 (on the right) shows the adapter attaching to the original shift cable attachment point.
