Install is simple, Just remove 4 screws that hold the plastic boot down and then 4 bolts that hold the shifter onto the top of the tranny. Swap the pieces out and reinstall... I know BD makes one of these but this brand is 1/2 the price of the BD one....

$175.00 + shipping is the price but you would have to get w/ Dan to get exact numbers.

I'd be interested in one too. Be sure to let us know how it works out after you get it installed.
