With your hand, follow the hardline coming from the larger of the two connectors until you find the clip connecting the other end to the lower intercooler piping. Unclip this and remove the entire stock hardline. Remember where this connection is as you will need to connect the intake adapter to it later. (Refer to picture on right).

Fiesta Shifter Bracket Removal and Dissassembly

Using a screwdriver or trim tool, pop both shift cables free from the ball sockets

Over time these connections get all sorts of dirt and grime in them so it may be necessary to wiggle them a little or even try to clean them out carefully to more easily remove the cables

Pull the metal insert out of the bushing
Using your fingers or a screwdriver remove the rubber bushings from the bracket itself.

COBB Fiesta Shifter Bracket Bushing Installation

Line up the bushings with the unlabeled side towards the bracket.

Make sure these are lined up before going on or you can cause damage to the bushings themselves.
With the bushings lined up, fit the metal sleeve in place with the wide flat side towards away from the transmission on the side the bolt will go on.
Now put the supplied bolt in place as illustrated through the sleeve and apply the washer and nut to the end.
Using a 12mm and 13mm wrench, tighten the bolt slowly to pull the bushings in to place. Once there is no visible space between the bushing and bracket you're done!

Make sure not to overtighten as it is possible to crack and damage the bushings
Repeat on the other three sides
Once finished up everything can be reinstalled in the reverse order of removal.

It may be worthwile to take a few seconds to adjust the shifter cable to ensure everything is within factory spec.
Now go out and enjoy!
