You don't have to drop the driveshaft! Work the original shifter up through the interior and the new one the same way. Did that with my Pro 5.0 install with no problem and no driveshaft removal.

What Musiccity said. I installed my Pro 5.0 without dropping the drive shaft.

if you really need room, then undo the 4 bolts and drop the tranny down a little bit (3-4inches). had to have that done to get driveshaft loops in.
