Directions are on the Illustrated Upgrades section of this web site.

Very simple 5 minute install. Unscrew the old knob and screw on the new one. Instructions are included with the knob and are very easy to follow. I have the First Strike knob installed without the lock nut to acheive the lowest possible position.

Just a suggestion:

Sometimes the original shift knob lock nuts are a hassle to unscrew. Just take two open end wrenches, put them on the two screws so the wrench handles can be squeezed together with one hand (similar to a plyers handle) and give it a good firm squeeze. This'll loosen them without risk of bending the shaft.
