Extendable magnet on the clip down one side, twist with a screwdriver then pulled it up with the magnet. Removed the shift lever and put back together in reverse order!
Slow and steady to align the clip and hey presto! Short shift linkage, alcantara gaiter and performance gear knob!
Highly recommended upgrade I love it!

Fair enough mate..
