Default Shortshifter Install Help

I just got a Neuspeed short shifter. I am pretty sure that I could install it myself without help but I'd like to ask anyone here if they have simple and easy directions. Thanks.

sure thing buddy,
u take ur shifter out of the package,
look at it all,
pull apart ur center console look at it all,
on the bottom of ur car ur going to see that there is the bottom of the shifter coming thru,
there will be a single bolt with 1 nut on the bottom connecting the shifter to the shift linkage,
undo that bolt, hardest part will be possibly getting ur exhaust out of the way to do this, but a simple socket wrench will take care of everything,
then simply pull the shifter out from the top or inside ur car, and drop the new one in, use the new parts that come with ur shifter cuz itll have a new bushing for the shifter/shiftlinkage connection. put ur center console back on. this is one of the first things u do when u start working on your car, it is very simple, and self expanatory once uve got it apart and ur looking at everything, good luck and let me know if u have any problems.

Right now I am stuck. I just took off the bolt connecting the shifter to the linkage. I cant seem to pull it out from the top though.

look from the top/inside the car there will be a covering around the ball of the shifter, u may need to unattach some screws holding that together. its really simple u cant break nething so just go to town, just make sureto put it back the way it was taken apart.
