This is a quick side by side of the NST shifter on the right with the AMS on the left.

o Install NST Shifter through spring and keeping the pin above the bearing on the right side.

o Install NST Retaining Plate

o Install the 3 bolts and 3 washers through the retaining plate. I put a little bit of thread locker 222 purple on the threads to ensure they stay put but this is not required.

o Going back under the car slide the sleeve bushing provided with the kit into the rod end, ensuring that both plastic hats are in place on the openings. Connect the rod end with bushing and hats in it to the shifter linkage and reinstall the bolt. Again i put a bit of the 222 purple thread locker on the threads. Once thats done pull the rubber boot back into place.

o Reinstall lower rubber boot making sure to get it seated low around the shifter.

o Reinstall the upper rubber boot.

o Reinstall grey upper retaining plate and re-attach the two connectors on the right side.

o Reconnect connectors to upper cover and slide cover back into place.

o Install shift knob of choice...mine is this nice NST red one. (they come with stickers to put on top but i like it without)
