shifter installation ??

[CrazyHorn]

I want to install my new shifter, to remove the console, do I just do it like it says in the intructions, ie: push your fingers into the boot, hook your fingers under console plate and lift up, I know its a dumb question but I just dont want to break anything, thanks.

Btw my stang is a 02 gt 5spd.

Yes, start behind the shifter where the boot meets the plastic. Which shifter did you get by the way?

Use a slow constant pressure while lifting up and it should come right off. Just remember to unplug the 12v plug right after.

DONE thanks for the advices guys, the shifter feels pretty good, just the way I like it, not too short, a little harder to shift doh, but I guess it needs a little break-in.

Edit: The stock shifter wasn't too hard to remove, I've put back the original handle and just give some pressure in third, like the instructions suggested, some small oil spots got on my console but not too bad, I tought it would have been a lot harder to remove, I remove the sealant with a knife, does it matter if a little bit got inside the shifter, not where the shifter sits but a little beside it??.
