RE: Short Throw Shifter

alright i think that i have decided to go with MGW becuase that is kinda what my gut feeling was and alot of you reassured me. How easy are they to install and are any special tools needed. Also how long will it take me. I am pretty mechanically inclined and i do have mechanic friends if i need them...

The MGW will come with RTV & an allen key that you will need to tighten the shifter handle.

I forget the size of the sockets you will need, but they are small and anyone who owns a car should have them.

Half an hour at the most... Very easy to install, just pull the old one off, remove the old rtv and put new rtv down, put new one on...
MGW gives VERY highly detailed instructions including pictures of it all.. They even give you a small tube of RTV.

Edit: Didn't know Dan beat me to the punch.
