Default Installing MGW shifter tomorrow

So tomorrow morning i'll be installing my MGW short shifter. I watched the instructional video, etc, but just thought i'd check with those of you who have already done this to see if there are any tip or tricks to save me some frustration and time.

LOL...actually, I was over on IMBOC, when my I-M went off. You see, every time the letters MGW are posted in a thread with my login name attached, my bank account increases by .25.....I said, when somebody says...MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW ,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW,MGW.

After all, far be it from me to ***** my car for mods.......

OMG... You caved!!!

Nate, you're going to love it. I want to see pictures upon completion of your install as well as how you like it. It will feel different to you then the stock shifter, but afterall, isn't that what you're going for? LOL

Mike is taking a look at my new (*note it's with in the time frame you set for me) lower Billit grille... So when he is done checking it out he will be back to give you some tips and pointers for your install tomorrow. Looks as though you both have the same plans for Saturday!!!

Good luck with it and I know you will not regret this mod.

Karen, way to stang on top of Mike and you keep making sure the parts are flowing in on a regular basis. Which grille did you buy and from where? I am in the market for one as well. I finally got sick of the stock shifters slopiness and bit the bullit

I think Mike was the one who swayed me over to buying the MGW.
