Here is what you should get in the box:
The center section might have the bearing already fitted to it
Or in the cups:
It doesn't really matter, it all comes together the same!
Always leave the "one cent washer" in there (cheapest soft metal washer that fit!).
If one bearing get stuck in the cup, if you've follow the previous rule, you will have no trouble getting it out using the big set screw.
I recommend you to do the job outside the car, it takes only 4 more screws to undo, but makes it really easy.
If during installation the first bearing keeps on falling, a drop of super glue will secure it. JUST A SMALL DROP
The pelicanpart article about the short shifter installation is very good, that's what I've used the first time I did it.
The hardest parts are getting the center console out, and breaking the old plastic cups (small chisel will do the job, the white plastic is brittle and will easily break if you hit the right spot without damaging the soft black plastic.)
Good luck with your install guys! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I, and the other do
Also, there is one left to grab
