twist and pull - its a press fit piece, and will come off with the pushbutton assembly intact ( nothing falls out) if it hasn't been off in a while, it can be 'quite' tight.
If you have amanual transmission You have to push down on the plastic ring above the shifter boot. after you push down the ring, Now you can unscrew the shifter knob. IF you have a automatic transmission you have to remove the screw on the side of the shifter knob. (Be careful the button on the shifter knob is spring loaded)

Once you remove the dust cover attached to your shifter, you'll see your shaft going into a gear box. There will be a pin to remove and this will allow you to pull the shifter right out. good luck
if it's the Mitsubishi 5 speed,remove the shifter from the top of the tranny and look inside with a flashlight-there are three locks below on the passenger side that MUST be centered when you install the shifter(in neutral)
It is combined with the neutral safety switch and mounts to the transmission where the shifter linkage is attached.
You too? :)
with tools
5-SPD: To remove the clutch you first have to disconnect the hydraulic line that feeds the slave cylinder the hydraulic fluid. for that a special tool is required to push and pulll on the fitting. the tool costs about $10 ive used a bbq fork before its up to you. Once that is done, you remove drivelines, unplug all electrical connectors, remove the shifter from the top of transmission, put a jack under transmission, remove crossmember, unbolt the bellhousing from engine and pull out the transmission. 4SPD: To remove the hydraulic slave cylinder you do not need to remove the transmission, it is sitting on the outside of the transmission on the driver side of it. to replace the slave you simply disconnect it and unbolt it.
No, the bleeder is on the passengers side top, opposite the line that goes in. Best way to get at it is to remove the plate that goes around the shifter. Cool thing is, with it right there you can do the bleeding with one person instead of two.
I remove the transmission dip stick and insert a funnel to fill it right there.
they're generally on the transmission where the cable from the shifter attaches to the lever on the side of the transmission that changes the 'gear' of the transmission (auto trans). manual transmissions usually have a switch on the clutch pedal (since you didnt specify which transmission type)
Yes the transmission will fit. But when converting over you will need a clutch pedal, brake pedal, clutch disc, pressure plate, throw out bearing, clutch fluid reservoir as well as the lines to route the fluid. You will also need the shifter cables as well as the shifter itself. Its not an easy task.
