It's an easy install, make sure you read all of the instructions, it tells you how to install the shift stops correctly.

Short throw is a simple install. It should take about an hour to complete and most of that time is removing and putting back on the noise isolator because its 4 fine threaded long bolts that seem to get tight in the back with minimal room to work.

first time it is a bit tricky....cause u dont wanna break anything..but the shifter bezel is a biotch to get out...dont worry about breaking anything...itll take a lot...

when u put the bolts back in...make sure they go in correctly and dont strip them...i did that and i have to retap them when i take my shifter out to swap to the mgw

ive done it 3 times to my friends stangs...1st time (my car) tooke me about 1 hr....2nd time took about 45....3rd time took about 15 mins

Yea, if you have a t3650 then you dont have to use the stops. Install is easy, just take your time.

UPR then went and made one very similar... but cheaper!
(and the top of it looks cheaper too... MT sells them, 15 dollar difference)
