Then I installed the short shifter, I sliced my finger open, and a few bad words in spanish later... I like the outcome of the short shifter.

I followed this to remove the center console. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI-RpjicOgw

If you have the center console arm... there is two screws on the lower back of the center console... you gotta remove the plastic bezel in the back where the rear seats are at. I'll post photos after my hand heals of what I am talking about lol...
