I installed it this morning. It took me about an hour to do, taking my time and double checking everything.

I would say install was about a 3 out of 10 as in difficulty.

First impressions:

Shifter is very short, notchy, loud, but that's exactly what I wanted. I may throw the dynamat on the car eventually, but it's not really as loud as I expected as in road noise on the interior

 

As long as you are happy with it, that's all that matters.

 

oh, and I only did 3 rotations. I may go under and do 5 to see the difference, but at this point, I like where it is

 

Is this a short shifter? I am being offered a frpp short shifter at a good price(never installed) want one bad!

 

yes this is a short shifter. I had an FRPP one that I bought from ford, but it was broken when I received the first one. I decided to just wait on MGW to finish theirs and I'm very happy. The install is easy, has video instructions if needed.

 

Sweet! The frpp short shifter is still in the box and it looked complete and unbroken, I think he said he would let me have it for $200. he is about to deploy for Afganistan and says when he gets back he is going ot buy the new 5.0 so has no need to install it on his 10 v6.
