You don't need anything special but a 12mm socket and a 12mm wrench. The shifter assembly itself as a whole is bolted to floor board with four 12mm bolts. Under the car you have the linkage which is connected to shifter with a 12mm nut. I just replaced my shifter with a 98 gated and it literally took me twenty minutes. You'll need to remove the console to get it out but that's easy also.

I'd take it out like SSmith said and just swap the whole unit from your other one I dropped my auto tranny for a manual in my SC400 and it took just a few minutes most of it was time letting the wd40 soak in
