Default Shifter ?

Hey guys,

I am looking to put a short throw on my car. Just wondering if you have to take the console out or not. Is there any shifter out there that is easier to install? I have put shifters on foxes but not sn95, just wondering if there are any differences.

the sn is easier to do, just remove the shifter console, all shifters the same as far as install

I installed a Pro 5.0 without removing the console, just the shifter boot, but it wasn't easy. Be prepared to go out in the middle of the job and buy the perfect wrench to get the front bolts.

I have a B&M in my fox and I love it. I didn't put it in (owner before me did) but I had to take it apart to adjust the stops. I also did this without removing the console. That was a crazy pain in the ***.
