hope this helps ya..

 

thanks for the help...guess ill have to wait to do it on my day off

 

you don't need a day off, it is quite simple. Just a lot of screws and removing but it won't take that long.
No more than one hour if you do it at night and having to "figure" things out.

 

When I did a clutch/flywheel swap, we had to remove the shifter. All I did was remove the armrest and trim piece below the radio which connects to the armrest piece, and it came out. Radio, climate controls, etc. all stay in. Your shifter isn't up there, it's down on the floor!

 

i would do it now, but i have to be at work in less than 30 minutes....

 

I painted the peice around the boot and their was 2 little damn screws underneath the front of that plastic peice, so all i did was bend it up and trimmed around them and it cam out, then i used super super glue and now its just fine....
