Hey fellas just thought i would ask before i order my Hurst short throw. How hard of a install is it on a scale of 1-10? it's going to be me and a buddy. i have a little knowledge about it the other knows a lil bit as well.

 

Not too bad, read this first though (for the MGW but pretty much the same)

As long as you can get under the car its easy. The hardest part is fitting the shifter through the hole.

I give it a 3, slightly harder than installing a CAI only because it envolves lifting the car either with ramps or jack stands.

I'm a car noob and I was able to do it no problem.

 

It was really easy and pretty much common sence... you'll be able to do it fast

 

With 1 being easy and 10 impossible, I'd say it was a 6 with driveshaft in place but a 2 if you drop the shaft off. It's wiggling the shifter through the floorhole which is the fiddly bit.

 

a 6 and 3? hmm.... lol

 

Well, in fairness it wasn't clear which was easiest on his scale, a 1 or a 10 LOL [8D]

 

its a 5

 

-5! [sm=trust_me.gif]

About 5 bolts, slop on some grease and call it a day

 

I would give it a 3 especially if you have a buddy helping you. Just take your time and watch how the old one comes out. I have done it a couple times without ever removing anything but the shifter (no transmission or driveshaft). Fiddle it around and take your time. . . .it will eventually drop in and fit in place.
