After being a noobie in installing the mopar short shifter. I recorded a record breaking time in installing it: 8 hours and 30 minutes.
I never installed a short shifter in a car, but defintely can be a fustrating experience for someone who isn't quite adept in working with mechanical things. The pictures and advise does help on these boards, but certainly did require some thinking on removing and installing the parts.
Other than having my shifting lever (without the nut), fliped around...... The most noticable difference is shifting to reverse, 1st to 2nd, and 4th to 5th. 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th felt quite the same as the stock shifter. I have a very tiny amount of play, but I think that's due to the stock rubber housing and husrt pivot lever not being quite the same tolerance as stock.
I'm quite happy that shifting is a but faster and smoother. I did not use the booger bushings, I stuck with stock oem bushings.
