I’m not sure on how to be able to replace the plastic ball in the bottom of the manual shifter stick and am wondering how it would be done and if I have to use some special lubrication for it?Thank you!

I attached the exploded view of the shifter to see the order of components. As for lubrication, you will want to use a white lithium spray grease. You don't need to soak these components, just coat them lightly so that things move nicely.

Let me know if you have questions and we can go from there. Thanks

Alright, so how do I even get the plastic piece off on the center console? I’ve tried pulling it off and thought I had everything removed but can’t get it off.

Here are the complete instructions. If you get a picture of the piece you are struggling with I will see if there are any tips I can help with if the instructions don't help.

Thanks
