    There are a couple of how-tos on this forum, but the jist of it is as follows:
    Star by pulling the ashtray out (the thing above your [PWR} button). Then shift the car back to 2 (make sure you are pasrked on a flat and have the handbrake on) and pull the shifter surround out. Tape down/mark the clear numbered bit next to your shister so that it goes back in the right position.

    After that its as simple as unscrewing every screw you see and just pulling. It may seem rough, but its pretty hard to break the plastic interior bits.
