takes a little bit of force, but it sure is do-able. there is some kind of threadlock 'glue-type' thing, but after the first couple twists, the rest is a breeze. all you need to do is find a compatible shift ****, and you're set. i.e. - momo, nismo, etc...

AT of 6???

the AT has a clip under the bottom cover
real easy to remove

oops, for 6MT.. thanks for the help.

One of the things that is very important to do, it to raise the titanium trim plate, and grasp the shift rod under the boot with a vise grip and hold it so it doesn't move when you break the **** loose. Failure to do this step could result in transmission damage.
