Nope, just follow the instructions. It's extremely simple and straight forward. The instructions that come with it will tell you everything you need to know.

No swivel needed. Just a ratchet, extension and a few different sized sockets (can't remember which now. I think the boot is 8mm the shifter itself is a little more).

Make sure you don't over torque the bolts holding the shifter down. I stripped one of the holes in my tranny tightening too much.
