Removal of Factory Shift Lever

1. Remove the shift knob by unscrewing it counter-clockwise. Pull up on the rear of the center console shifter surround trim piece to remove it from the console. Disconnect the wiring harness for the lighter so that the surround can be placed aside. This will make it easier to work without scratching the center console or the center console shifter surround trim piece. 
   
   
   

2. Use the two 12mm boxed end wrenches, one on either side , remove the bolt that holds the shift lever to the shift linkage as shown in the picture below. Do not misplace the nut and bolt, as they will be reused with the COBB Tuning Shift Lever.
   
   
   

3. Pull the lever back so that you can spin it 180 degrees and pull back on the shift lever as if you were going into 4th gear to pop it out of the plastic cup at the bottom. You may want to place a rag between the lever and the center console to avoid damaging the center console if you pull to far.
