I didn't do a how to when I did mine. But...I'll do my best to explain it.
Once you remove the shifter you'll see the shaft with the notch down the middle. Make note of how high out of the metal the white piece stands. You need to cut those two metal pieces off leaving only the white plastic bar in place. Then trim off the white piece until it fits right with the shifter. You don't want to cut too much off if you do you're screwed. That white part needs to be able to sit in the shifter uncompressed in the "park" position or else you won't be able to remove your keys. I can take pictures later today if you need it.

Put the parking brake on. Put the shifter in 1st gear. Get a flat head screwdriver and put it in the slot on the front of the shifter. There's a little retainer clip in there. You just have to remove that. The stock shifter will pop off after that
