give you an extra hand to hold it with.
If you can, replacing the bushins wouldn't hurt either.. makes for a smoother shift.
Make sure, even if you don't replace the bushings, you put the one right behidn the shifter back on right, or you'll have a loose shifter...
won't effect your shifting but it's annoying.
I got worms.

I would have shot myself in the face if I had to deal with those bolts while my arms were cramping up underneath the car.

Well it's installed,
I did it this afternoon with the help of my dad, it went alright. It took more time than it would normally since we did not drop the b pipe.
the shifter I used was a dc sports and it works great, the shifts are much shorter and it does not rattle so im happy.
