if you have a couple sockets, about an hour, and some patience, it's one of the easiest installs you can do. the entire install is done from your driver's seat.

it's just a matter of taking apart your shifter bezel and having the right size sockets for the job. if i recall you'll need an 8, 10, and 13mm socket maybe a 6" extention to make things a LOT easier on your knuckles. other than that have a putty scraper to get rid of old gasket material.

good looking car, btw.
