Just take off the gearknob, remove the gaitor and plastic bit.
Then undo the bolt holding the linkage together. Apply a bit
of force to pop the old gearstick out then use a plastic ended
mallet to force the balljoint of the new stick into place and
tighten up the bolt. There's a metal plate that goes around
the stick, I bent this upwards slightly to stop the linkage from
catching it-
When it's all fitted it might feel a bit stiff for a while but it will
slacken a little over time. They are supposed to make the gear
throw shorter making it quicker to change gear and some say
that they make your gearstick feel like a little joystick on an
arcade machine lol

Hurrrrm, may have to get one of these.
Coming from VW's to impreza's i am finding 2nd to 3rd a real task. I nearly put the gear stick through the head unit every time i change. Have to keep remembering its kind of diagonal to 3rd from 2nd.
If you kind of know what i mean.....
