Don't waist money on having a shop install it, if you have done an oil change you have the skill level to put in a short shifter. You will love the way they feel too, I have the Hurst and really like it. No need to remove the drive shaft. Good luck.

Nothing tops the satisfaction of a job you have done yourself. You gain experiance and you start to figure out how your car works. Just do not get in a hurry working like a gorilla!

Make sure you properly tighten all of the shifter linkage. I had a pretty bad scare at the drag strip Wednesday night, lol.
