a second pair of hands are not needed for installation. it can be a one man/woman job...

Installed mine today, love it! Shifts are quick and love the feel of it.

Relatively easy install, took about 45 minutes for me.

I'd take a picture, but my cars dirty right now lol

I can tell you from experience that that is the easy part. It will take all of about 15mins including the time to remove and reinstall the console, or at least loosen it to get it out of the way.

IMO just changing the bushing won't make much of a difference you will notice the shifts being a little bit crisp thats all. You should deff consider getting a SS. Install is easy and it comes with pretty detailed instructions.

i did origianlly want the ss, but times r tough so i might as well order the 2 the bushings and the shifter separately, even tho itll run me a little extra. still, im just lookin to have the "crisper" feeling.. if u tell me the shifter makes a difference as well then ill definitely be buying it.

I just installed my TWM SS this past Tuesday and love it as well, this is a really neat mod. They did a really great job w/ the instructions but I did need the extra set of hands. I too am intersted in whether or not a **** makes any difference, I opted out for now given they are pretty proud of them.

Vibrant exhaust goes on Sunday morning so I should have another update soon...Come on Sunday!
