I'm sure this has been covered before, but just in case.

1st, lift the leather boot

2nd, lift the rubber boot then remove the C clip from the shift **** and all comes right off.

Exposed shifter.

3rd Remove C clip from shift pin and the shift tube slides right off.

This is the lever we are replacing the stock one with; it is aluminum with adj. shift throw. Tools need are a Flat head Screw driver, 4mm Allen wrench & 13mm socket.
4th, Use the 13mm socket to remove the 2 bolds holding the shifter in place.
This is what it looks like out.

5th, Push the base up the shift lever to pop the Plastic cup holding the base of the lever, now the lever will pop right out.

6th Pop the new lever in the cup just as you removed the old one. Bolt the base back in..

7th Reconnect the shift to the new pin, replace the C clip.

This is what it should look like.

8th Replace the rubber boot, add the shift **** of your choice and you are done..
Notice the end of the shift pin that is the wear that causes sticky shifting.
