Not having done this, the only thing I'd add here is that before step 2, you
should drain the transmission. Otherwise you will pretty much be guaranteed
a gear oil shower at a most inopportune time. Don't forget to refill after
you button things back into place.

The process goes like this:
1) Remove carpet over transmission shift lever end, open left side door, and
remove speedo cable and upper shift lever mechanism. No need to remove
entire
shifter.
(For later on, putting the speedo clamp back is a little tricky with the
room
involved. The ring around the cable can be angle sectioned so it will rotate
around the holding bolt and fall over the cable to hold it in place. Replace
by mounting cut ring with holding bolt, lightly tighten bolt with cut ring
out
of the path of the cable. Insert the cable, and release the ring to fall
into
the cable groove. Tighten bolt.)
2) Remove rear drive shaft U joint bolts and remove drive shaft.
