If you cannot do so and are obliged to install the short shifter on a slightly inclined surface, place wooden blocks in front or behind the wheels to prevent the car from moving while you re working. Please read this installation manual completely before installing the short shifter. Make sure to let the car cool down before you do the install as you will be working on and around the exhaust line.

Use needle nose pliers to squeeze the tab and push it out. 9. Pull up on the air box to remove it from the engine bay. Take good note of both rubber grommets where it s installed in as it will need to be reinstalled the same way. Put it aside for re-install later.

5 10. Pull on both tabs holding the top part of the battery box and remove it. This top part has 2 tabs at the back that are inserted in two slots on the bottom part. To remove it, lift the front part up and then slide it toward the front of the car. Put it aside for reinstall later. 11. Using a 10 mm socket and ratchet, unbolt the battery holder.
