Remove the four 10mm bolts and maneuver it out of the car. You may want to take the time to remove the metal surround that holds down the rubber gasket.Reinstall the top portion of the lever to the center section. Note that the barrel should be oriented toward the front. The following pictures show the linkage attached.

This should be hand tight (approximately 12-15 ft/lbs of torque). Attach the linkage to the shift lever using the factory hardware that was removed previously and the to 12mm boxed end wrenches.There may be an extra on the ball or the socket to use. Before attaching to the shift linkage, apply a small amount of grease to both sides of the bushings used in the new shifter.Re-secure the c-clip to hod the bushing cup and lower ball in place. This normally is a simple operation, and should not require much force. Place the new shifter with bushing cup back into the socket as it was from the factory.COBB Tuning is not responsible for damage due to over-torquing the screw. If you over-tighten the screw it may strip the threads on the aluminum center section. It does not take much torque to hold them together securely, torque to 40 in-lb. Now, tighten the screws to make sure that the lower section with the ball is secure in the center section. Loosen the clamp screw that holds the upper portion of the lever and remove the upper shaft.Also install the cup bushing to the ball on the bottom of the COBB shifter. Install the bushing from the center of the stock lever to the COBB shifter. One removed, apply grease from the original shift lever's ball to the new shifter lever's ball.
