No you dont need to get under the car at all. you can do everything in your car.

RE: MGW shifter install

all u have to do is pull the boot off then un bolt the handle then the base and pull it right off. its the easiest install ever and u can do it at night time with the dome light its so easy

RE: MGW shifter install

unless you have an 05, everything can be done from the drivers seat. Unless you want to change your fluid while your at it.

You only need to get under the car to change the fluid if you do so when you change the shifter.

Other then that just sit in the drivers seat.

RE: MGW shifter install

sorry to sway from the subject, but all you guys with your cars in the avatar and sig looks awesome.

but to contribute to the thread, the shifter can all be done from inside the car.
