OK "Him", wiring the new shifter literally takes 3-5 minutes (more or less) maybe 15 minutes because of trying to remove original shifter (it's tight).
- Remove gait
- Remove original shifter
- Place new shifter and boot to gait. (Here there will be a new wire harness hanging from end side of new shifter.)
- There are three unmistakable plugs to plug into the new shifters wiring harness
- Place shifter onto shaft, adjust harness so it won't get tangled or pinched
- Center and lock gait
- Admire your work by turning on car
Someone had asked me sometime ago how did I like the shifter height? Again, the height does not bother me, but I thought looked into further how to lower it without cutting the shifter stalk. I soon found a culprit. If you'll notice on the back side of the shifter cover, there's a rib that prevents the shifter unit from being located at a lower height.
I got out my handy dandy Dremel tool and trimmed off this item. Now the shifter sits approximately 1/4 lower than before. Not much, but it does help some.
It's a nice conversation piece at the dealership and car meets.
