Working from below the car remove the pivot bolt that connects the lever
with the selector shaft that runs alongside the exhaust pipe.  Working from
in the car, remove the gear shift knob and the shifter boot.  Remove the
black vinyl trim sleeve from the shift lever.  Remove the circlip or
retaining clip from the groove on the shift lever, taking care not to loose
the washer, spring or clip.  You will then be able to remove the lever from
beneath the car.  Installation is the reverse of removal.  If you do not
disturb the mounting bolts for the base, and shifter linkage was aligned to
start with, you will not need to re-align it.  C/V or similar grease on the
plastic parts, and new bushings in the bolt at the base of the lever are a
good idea.
