I know jthorn just did his a few weeks ago, see if you can track him down. Or autobadges can help you out I'm sure, along with a few other people on here. Those are just the first few that came to mind.

Click my sig for the best place to buy a steeda short shift.
1.) Put the car in neutral
2.) Unscrew the shifter *** and take it off
3.) Pop off the plastic pannel around the shifter, the boot will come up with it
4.) Take out the two bolts that holds the upper half of the stock shifter to the lower half
5.) Unscrew the 4 bolts at the bottom around a copper looking plate
6.) Unscrew the 4 bolts that holds the sifter onto the tranny
7.) You'll really have to pull, but pull off the stock shifter
8.) Make sure that the plastic cup that fits around the ball of the stock sifter is still in it's little hole, if it comes out with the sifter, take it off and put it in place
9.) MAKE SURE YOU GET THE GASKETS FROM AUTOBADGES.COM TOO, put the big gasket in place
10.) Put the steeda shifter in place
11.) Put the 4 bolts that hold the shifter to the tranny back in place
12.) There are two screws on the short shifter, put the shifter in third and tighten down on the screw until it's on the shifter (or stops screwing) back it out 1/6th of a turn, do the same for 4th gear
13.) put the copper plate back on
14.) put the upper part of the shifter on
15.) put on the plastic cover
15.) rescrew in the shifter ***
16.) ENJOY.
