ok, I'm done. I re-adjusted mine so it goes up about 6-7 clicks now, but if I try hard, I can pull it up to 10... oh well, close enough for me. it took maybe 15 minutes. it wasn't hard. just like batman said, take out the shifter surround, remove the two screws, remove the two 12mm bolts inside the armrest, pull out the center console, remove the one 10mm bolt, loosen/tighten the other 10mm bolt, replace the 10mm bolt, replace the center console, replace the bolts and screws, replace the shifter surround, you're done!

the only thing I had a problem with was getting the center console back. there are two little tabs sticking out the front of it that go into two holes on the other part of the center console. in order to get them in, you have to position the center console behind the other piece, lift up the rear of it, slide it forward into place, then lower the back end of it. it wasn't hard once I figured it out. took me like 5 minutes to get it back in.
