Before you begin
-Read instructions completely before starting each step.
-Pay attention to how parts are removed from the vehicle and make sure to keep track of all parts, in many cases they may be used in the installation.
Step 1. Radiator shroud removal
-Remove the plastic radiator shroud by removing the two plastic rivets with a flat blade screw driver or pry tool. To do this you must first unlock the rivet by prying up on the head of the rivet, located at the center (the head will raise about a half an inch).
-Once the rivet has been unlocked it can then be removed.
-There are two christmas tree style fasteners at each edge of the plastic shroud. These are removed by inserting your flat blade screw driver/pry tool near the fastener and gently prying upward.

Please Note: It is preferable to park on a flat surface, as you will have to engage and disengage the hand brake and shift from gears to neutral. If you cannot do so and are obliged to install the short shifter on a slightly inclined surface, place wooden blocks in front and behind the wheels to prevent the car from moving while you’re working. Please read this manual completely before beginning to work on your car. Estimated Installation Time: 60 minutes shifter only, 75 minutes with base bushings
