Could someone show me a pic of where to lubricate the shifter to eliminate the squeaks it has developed? Yes, I already did a search and found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I have that same problem every once in a wile. Go into the engine bay and if you have a CAI you can see the linkage that moves and you will hear it squeak. Have someone in your car put it in and out of gear and at the same time spay some WD-40 on it. Dont soak it in the WD -40 just put enough on so it will stop. Hope this helps.

white lithium grease spray will work better, and last longer. It's at any auto store. There are some rubber coated parts w/ the shift linkage & the WD40 may not be the best and prolly won't last. It's easiest to access the linkage (bronze colored) from underneath the car with the car plastic off. Some of the linkage resides between the battery and the engine. Go thru all gears, try not to lose the little red nozzle thing ... too many times :)
