A shorter shifter will shorten the throw distance, though I don't
remember the exact mathematical formula (probably a^2 + b^2 = c^2 though).

If there is a console in the vehicle remove it and you will find the
bolts or screws that hold the boot down, otherwise you may have to go
under the vehicle to see if there are nuts to remove.
