I did it on my 99 coz it was sticky. It's pretty simple, but you do need to remove the entire shifter housing, dismantle it, remove the relavent parts (you'll see when you open it up), then put it all back together.
IIRC, there is a little pie shaped thingy with gears on it, and maybe a pin or two here and there. I can't remember precisely, but as I said, once you open up the housing, you'll see. You should be able to do it without removing the shift rod and housing from the car, but you will need to loosen it to flip it sideways to get at the bolts from underneath. The entire thing is held in by these funky triple sided nuts. No conventional socket will fit them. You can either a) use a screwdriver and hammer to punch the nut around, or b), more elegantly, cut down a 10mm socket so that three teeth engage the nut properly.
Good luck, it's not too difficult. My turbo timer is me sitting in the car for a few extra seconds! :) Remember that the reverse lockout locks the transmission in gear, making the car much more difficult to steal.
