It's really super simple. I did mine in like 15 min. just reading other people's threads on how to install it. Just make sure you have a mallet. Good luck.

i'm in oakland. I've read the instructions on scoobymods and the shifter seems simple enough but I don't think i have the proper tools to get under the car to install the bushings.

I didn't need to jack the car up or anything to get to the bushing. You should be able to do it with the car on the ground. I think it's just a 12mm wrench and some elbow grease.

Nope, I just squeezed under the driver side and swapped it out. Like I said, though, it took a bit of leverage. The scoobymods directions are dead on...

Or you could buy a $19.00 ramp. They are a good investment anyway. You could use it for your oil changes as well.
