1. Take a look a Fig. 192 in the IT-FO-4 (my page 132). Familiarize yourself with the parts and their names. 2. Remove the transmission cover. You may have to remove the dash in order to remove the front center bolt on the cover....my dash was already off, but I vaguely remember it being in the way... 3. Compress the gear shift lever spring and remove the seat. The gear shift lever has been milled on two sides in order to make seat insertion/removal easier. You will want to try and rotate the seat until it lines up with the milled sides and it will come out easily. 4. Once the seat is out, the whole lever comes up and out. You may need to rotate the lever 180 degrees in order to get it through the cover. 5. Reverse the process to replace. The hardest part is compressing the spring. I'm sure some experienced Board member has an easy way to do it. I replaced the pin on my lever last weekend using a screwdriver to compress the spring. It wasn't elegant, but it worked. Good luck!
