Here is a short and sweet DIY for a short shift install
Reference for the linkage

If you want to purchase everything in a pretty package go to turninconcepts.com and get the "narrow" version, unless you have 02+ WRX shift linkage than get the wide version.

I would also recommend getting a "new" or newer pivot linkage because your old one is probably worn out and the bushings cannot be replaced on the OEM part.

Tools:
2 12mm Wrenches
12mm Socket
Ratchet
Assortment of extensions
Snap Ring Pliers
Phillips Screwdriver
Flathead Screwdriver
Axel or Roll Pin Punch
Jack and Jack stands
Lets get started, here you start with a semi truck shifter
Lift the arm rest and use a phillips and remove the two top screws
Lift the parking brake bezel
Lift he shift boot bezel and unscrew the shift knob
Use two 12mm wrenches and disconnect the upper linkage
Slide under the car and remove the exhaust heat shield, 6 12mm bolts and nuts
Remove the the two 12mm bolts that hold the rear bushing
Remove the bushing cap and centering spring
Remove the snap ring with some snap ring pliers
lift the old shifter out and remove the plastic basket
Shift Kit, I used COBB front bushings since I had an extra set
Place the basket on the kartboy shifter lever and put on the new pivot bushings as well
Drop the lower linkage remove the old front and rear bushings
To grease the bushings up I used white lithium
I used a axel punch to remove the roll pin connecting the pivot linkage
1/4inch of play in the old pivot linkage
Place the lower linkage back in and using the new 12mm bolt re install the front and rear bushing. Make sure you the bushing plate and centering spring are re install.
Place the Kartboy Shifter in the top and seat it into the lower linkage and re install the snap ring
reinstall the exhaust shield and you are done on the bottom
Install the upper linkage to the shifter
Put the center consol back together and reinstall the shift knob and take her out!!!!
Please make sure you check everything twice or you will end up on the side of the road
Thanks
