Yes it's easy. Remove the shift knob, boot, and console cover. Put the ignition key in the run position and leave it there till you're done. This will prevent the shifter from being on the wrong side of the reverse lock out. Put the shifter in neutral, remove the 3 torx screws from the retaining ring, remove the shift lever. Once this is out, remove the cotter pin going through the rod and replace the lower half of the "ball" (this part is about $12 from your Snaab dealer). Make sure you get all the parts back on there in the right order !!! Before you put the cotter pin back in, check the length of the reverse lockout pin at the bottom of the shift lever - the shoulder should be exposed about 1/8th of an inch. This pin sets the gate for 5th gear so this could possibly explain the odd behavior when trying to find 5th. Reassembly is the reverse of removal. Again just make sure the key is in the run position when you go to slap everything back together, and you should be all set. Good luck !!! BTW- Glad to hear that your vac line problem is all set.
