1) do a search, its dicused weekly.

2) Pull plastic pin out of the front of shifter.

3) Pull shifter up.

4) Put whatever shift knob back on as a replacement

to shorten it, Take a pipe cutter, and cut what ever much you want off. Then your gonna have to cut the yellow inside stick off the same amount. So if you removed 1" of the steel shaft, you need to remove 1" of the yellow rod, no more or you will have shift lock problems.

LMR Do you have an auto or a manual? If auto, how did you replace the knob with a manual one? Just curious....

My car is an automatic, and please look at the link I posted prior. It will explain that the knob screws into the boot.
