I short throw is something I am considering putting on my car soon. How hard is it to install yourself?

It's really easy, pull the boot off take out a few bolts and put the new one in. Then you just have to adjust it...I don't know if there'sa write-up anywhere but it's pretty self explainatory once you dig into it

It's fairly straightforward. Follow the directions and take your time. Biggest mistake people make is forgetting to remove the black cup on the bottom of the shifter and snapping it back on the MGW.

Sup Bags? Hey was the Steeda better for going into 5th and reverse? Basically w/ the MGW I twist my hand so my index finger is towards the floor and then move it into Reverse. First gear is a b!tch, and don't even tell me about 5th, lol. If the Steeda Tri-Ax is easier for those gears I may switch and sell my MGW.

I love my Steeda- no problems. And I could tell a huge difference. Either way you go, Steeda or MGW, you will be happy.
