I just did mine last night and it was pretty easy except for when I got the rubber gasket stuck inside the shift ****. That only took about 20 minutes to get out. I saw posts about cutting the gasket but I assumed that meant poke a hole in it so that the top part of the shift rod (?) would slide over, but what it really means is to cut the entire top off the thing.
Once I figured that out, what I did was put the shifter over the rod without the gasket just so I could see how far down it would need to go to engage the clutch (?). Mark that point, then put the gasket about halfway inside the shifter and work both of them down to that mark. Then work the shifter completely over the gasket, and screw in the three screws. Well, two in my case -- one of them wouldn't go in, but it's still really tight so I'm not worried about it.
Oh, one other oddity, the silver ring that covers the screw holes screws on backwards. That was news to me.
(?) = lack of proper car part terminology...this is the first car I've owned that's worth learning about, so I'm a bit new to all of this.

Has anyone tired our Search using AT Shift **** install? I recall having posted on several threads back in '08 how to lower the shift **** by cutting down the center actuator with a Dremel and reshaping. Momo shifter sitting 1/2" lower just looks better! I've moved on from the Momo to a KJ Burnt Titanium **** but the shifter still works great without issues...Gary
