It's pretty self explanitory and is fast... it'll atke about an hour to an hour and 20 minutes with the 2 of you doing it. My buddy has a lift so it was that much faster when we did mine. That's a good gift man -- you'll enjoy it.

The hardest part is getting the stock shifter out. Pull it out the top by the back of the shifter.

With a lift, it should only take 30-40 minutes. It took me and my buddy 25min because we read the instructions ahead of time and had the tools ready.

Note: USE LOC-TITE on the shifter stick screws!
Note 2: It has very tight clearance going in, but does fit, just twist it a little bit.

I've had mine in since they first came out and I really like it.....plus no problems shifting through the gears.

Did my shifter today.....was fairly simple, took me about 1 1/2 hours. I plan on posting pics and steps as to how I did it when I have a little more time. BTW, I absolutely LOVE the "notchiness" in shiftins. I only took her around the block, but plan on taking her out and really get on it some tomorrow! A++ for now though!

More to come.
