did you get past the e-ring? if not, use two long flat heads, one at each end of the E and push as the same time.
As for silicone spray, i didn't have any, so i used WD40.

haha, almost the same time as me. It very frustrating, especially because you have no room to do anything. But it was all well worth it i think.

I have to say, having owned a 6MT, that the before and after difference is pretty amazing. Thanks for the video

I wonder why that isn't just standard on the 6MT? I mean, I never heard anyone say "Man, if only this shifter had LONGER throws."
