Need help with Skunk2 short shifter

Hey guys,

I just brought a Skunk2 short shifter adapter and I'm trying to take out the center console but I'm having a bit of trouble taking it out. Apparently, there's two plastic bolts in the front of it and since they don't have faces, I have no idea how to take them out. Do I just pull them out as hard as possible?

Regards

no, no

take a small screw driver and push right in the middle of the clips, there is a small circle there. push that little circle in with a small diameter screwdriver or paperclip even, and it should release the clip...that's all there is to those...just push the center in and they will release from the inside.

once you get them out you will see you can pull that center part all the way out in order to put them back in the console and then you will push it back in flush to lock it. its really easy to see how they work once you get it out.

Sweat, I got, thanks man!

But now even with the center console out. I can't figure how to take out the shifter assembly. There's four bolts all around the assemble but the top left is blocked by one of the shifter cables. Has anyone here installed a skunk2 short shifter adapter before? I would really appreciate the help.

follow the line, remove the carpet from all around, and see what you can find.
