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
