here is a link...

http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs...PDF/466037.pdf

follow the directions to remove the middle console and the center woodgrain piece... after that the shift boot is attached to the middle woodgrain piece... just unscrew a few screws I think??

forgot but u'll see it is pretty easy.

need a philips screwdriver and that is probably it.

good luck

First pull out your radio and the pocket then you can feel two screws take them out. Then remove your armrest and cupholder section of you armrest and you will feel two more screws take them out. Then your boot will be lose, but you will have to angle the bracket to take it out. You will need a short screwdriver to get the screws out and if you have small hands you might be able to get the two front screws out by removing your ashtray instead of removing your radio...Hope this helps

same thing...

but you need to remove the dash pocket... for some reason I cannot think of the name of that thing... to the right... where you usually keep papers and the manual you know what im talking about.... underneath the dash there are 2 hinges that can be removed 4 screws total 2 screws for each hinge... philips head the + one

and then you can just leave it hanging to the side...

inside the coin holder on the right side of the dash near the steering wheel pull that out just yank it out... I believe there is 1 or 2 screws there take those out... then you can yank off the underneath cover of the steering wheel panel. be careful not to break the plastic tabs if you do you can fix them with some stuff but try not to....

now on the right hand side of the steering wheel there should be a screw or 2 holding the middle console inplace. and then also on the left hand side of the paper holder dash thing(I have no idea why I can't think of that parts name) there should be 1 or 2 screws holding that section in...

the rest of the screws should be the same from the directions in the link

pull up cupholder should be 3 screws...pull up the CD holder inside the center arm rest 2 screws... that should do it if the whole middle is one piece.
