Note that I have copied the TWM installation manual word for word and added my own notes on this install. There guide is very clear but it can't hurt to have it online.
Tools Required:
13mm wrench
14mm wrench
12mm socket
6" extension
Ratchet
Flat head screw driver
4mm allen key (included)
Rubber Mallet <- not in their instructions but I used it.
1. Looking down at the knob, turn the knob lock nut clockwise, using a 14mm wrench to loosen it.
2. Remove the knob by rotating it counter clock-wise and remove the nut from the shifter shaft.
3. Pull up on the shifter bezel to remove it and put it in a safe place.
The bezel simply snaps into place; just pop it up.
4. Hold the rear of the plastic part surrounding the shifter and pull it up and then back toward you to remove it. The plastic part simply snaps into place; just pop it up and then pull back and away from the center console.
5. Spread the metal clip open and pull the cable down to free it from the shifter.
I suggest using needle nose pliers; make sure you keep a good grip as not to lose this into the center console.
6. Using a 13mm wrench, place the open end around the shifter and use the shifter as a pivot point. We strongly recommend doing this inside a plastic bag to avoid losing the cup. Use caution during this step
I can honestly say this step is where I ran into the most difficulties because I couldnt get that little blue cap off. I did exactly what they said by prying it wasnt working so I ended up just positioning the wrench like they suggested and smacked it forward a couple times and the cap popped right off. Below is a picture of the picture of the cap off however I did not get a picture of the wrench positioned. The best I can tell you is to put the open end of the wrench right above the cap on the shifter base and then push forward towards the black plastic piece above it.
NOTE: Steps 7 to 10 are only required if you have purchasd the shifter base bushings as well. if you only purchased the adapter proceed ahead to step 11.
7. Using a 12 mm socket and ratchet with a 6" extension, remove the 3 bolts holding down the shift assembly.
8. Push the rubber grommets out of the shift assembly. First push the metal sleeve out of the rubber grommet with your finger, then remove the rubber grommet by pushing it through the shifter assembly with a flat head screw driver. Use Caution not to drop the bushings inside the console. If you drop a bushing it will be necesary to remove the console to retrieve it.
Getting these out is simple however keeping them from falling into oblivion is not. If you lose it into the center console just refer to the end of the guide where I describe how to remove the center console.
9. In order to install the bushings beneath the shifter assembly, you may want to ask a friend to assist. Alternatively, to hold the bushings in place while working you may apply a thin bead of fun tack around the bushing to make them stick to the bottom side of the shift assembly. This will hold them in place while you place the other bushings if you are working alone. Use Caution not to drop the bushings, the console will need to be removed to retrieve them.
10. Place all three bushings under the shift assembly with the smaller diameter facing up so they fit into the holes in the plastic assembly. Thread the bolts back in and tighten them using a 12 mm ratchet.
Same verse as above. I did this and dropped 2 out of the 3 bushings into oblivion so I just took the center console out and it made the whole just that much easier. To be honest I don't know how anyone could actually manage to hold the bushings in place and secure them at the same time while the console is still in place.
11. Grease the ball on the TWM shift adapter.
The grease is not included with the kit however you can find plenty of grease on the pivot rod for the shifter. It doesn't take much; just enough to make it slick.
12. Using a vice, push the blue cup you removed in step 6 onto the TWM adapter.
I do not have a vice so I just put the adapter on my work bench with the cup on top of it and tapped it with a rubber mallot and it popped right on.
13. Slide the adapter onto the shifter, with the slot facing up. This may be easier by pushing the shift cable down to create more space.
14. Verify the adapter is fully inserted onto the shifter and apply loctite on the supplied socket cap screw. Tighten the socket cap screw using the supplied 4mm Allen Key until it is properly secured to the shifter shaft.
15. Push the cable back on to the plastic cup on the bottom of the TWM adapter, be sure that the metal clip snaps back into place to secure the shift cable to the shifter.
16. Re-install the console by reversing steps 1 to 4.
Install is complete; Enjoy the ride!
Center Console Removal
Below are a couple pictures of the screws and push pins you need to remove to take out the center console.
This panel just pops off.
Just remove the screws/push pins and pull up and backwards on the console; it should come out enough for you to get to everything. To completely remove it you will need to unclip the harness to the right of the shifter a few inches back.
