I've had the shifter in and out a few times, and the Function First instructions are very helpful, and include all the steps the get the console out:

FUNCTION-FIRST > Shift-Right Solution

The B&M instructions are pretty good too:

These two are the best in my opinion.

Of course there are these:
Porsche Boxster Short Shift Kit (SSK) Installation and Shift Bushing Replacement - 986 / 987 (1997-08) - Pelican Parts Technical Article

All are pretty good, once you get in there it all makes sense.

For me the most fiddly part was getting the retaining clips off of the shifter cables so I could remove the old shifter base and put down the new shifter base.
