Hell yes! I really want that shifter. Are there gonna be any instructions, or is the process so simple I shouldn't need any?

I'm very interested in this... But can someone please tell me:

1) How hard is it to wire this up? Can I read the instructions before I buy this so I know what I'm getting in to?

2) So cutting the stalk would probably void my warranty, right? What if I don't, any idea what would happen to my warranty?

cutting the stalk won't void your warranty.

the wiring is plug and play and takes maybe 5 minutes

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.
