Make sure the shift boot pops onto the lip of the shift knob. Remove the shift knob so that you can reinstall the center console shifter surround trim piece making sure to reattach the wiring harness for the lighter and screw the shift knob back into place making sure it is tight.Again when tightening the clamp screws do not over tighten them, torque them to 40 in-lbs. To see the height of the shift knob, simply adjust the top portion of the lever to what is comfortable for you. We usually set it so that there is the slightest amount of clearance so the throw can be as short as possible without causing issues. This can increase shift effort, causing you to not be able to go into first or third, and wear a hole in the rubber gasket. If you go too long on the bottom section, the linkage will sandwich the rubber gasket in between the chassis and shift linkage. However there are space limitations in the chassis and shift linkage. If you desire the shortest throw, you will want to have the lower section as long as possible. If you want to adjust the throw (length of the distance from one gear to another) of the lever the lower portion needs to be adjusted. This is a good time to set the throw and height of the shift lever, as the shift boot is not covering the clamp screws.Trim the upper left edge where the linkage goes by to allow more clearance for the linkage, as it will be slightly higher to get the the geometry for a shorter throw. 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.
