can ne give me decent instructions on how to take the reverse lockout off and cut my shaft to make it a short shifter for a 95 v6 manual?

Search for "reverse lockout". I just posted detailed instructions on the collar removal.

As for the cutting: you'll need a file, a hacksaw, and a die. I think it's pretty easy if you've got the tools...
