Default Short throw shifter

so im lookin at getting a short throw shifter but im not going to get it if the install is to hard to do on my own. how hard is it to get under the console and mess with the linkage and everything hooked up to the shifter??

I did my install in the middle of the night with only the dome light as a light source. The easiest and best mod i have done to my car. Make sure you have long and short sockets, and an extension.

There is no "linkage" to speakof, and it is easy to change. Consider changing your transmission fluid while you have the shifter out.

Pretty much the same here. Just the dome light, a flashlight and a socket set. I wouldn't say it's the best mod I've done to my car (mine was the t-lock) but it is a lot better then the mushy stock shifter. Just read the directions and you'll be fine.

Very easy install, www.autobadges.com has all you need. Steeda trix axe FTW.

I agree with everyone... I've installed several of these now, and it's ridiculously easy. Everything is intimidating if you've never done it, but most stuff is not too tough when you actually DO it.

Oh, and I agree with jthorn... Steeda Tri-Ax! (Though I've heard you can't go wrong w/ MGW, either)
