Normally the easiest way to replace a shifter is the complete shift tower, without the cables, which stay attached to the tranny. (Mods like the B&M shifter upgrade require rebuilding of the tower.)

The cables are removed from the old tower, the tower is removed, the new tower is installed, the cables are put back into the tower (with centering tool on the shifter), and you're off to the races.

The stock shifter towers work on both the 5-spd and the 6-spd.

I installed the 9x7 short shifter tower in my 986, and love it.
