This is how the shifter console should look with the 5spd.
Pull up on the shifter console area like how I am in the picture. You want to pull from inside the shiftboot area. You may want to pull with both hands. One hand on the left side, and one on the right side. Its easier if you do it with both. The only reason I have one hand in the pic, is the simple fact I used the other to take the pic..LOL..
After you pull the left and right sides up, the front and back should just come off. There is nothing but clips holding this area down.
You should be able to turn the area around the shifter sideways. Once this is done, you can follow the steps from the DIY for the auto, its exactly the same.
As you can see in the pic, its not necessary to take off the shift knob.
So Megahurtz?? where my points at?? LOL...
