I would consider new shift linkage bushings, hardened ones like (but not only) Password sells make a BIG difference in shifter feel.

Energy suspension makes some good ones too. Short shifter install isnt too hard. If you are unsure, do a search and I am sure you can find some fairly simple how-to's.

you dont need a pro to install it.. have the DIY mentality and just go for it.. its all mechanical so its very easy to figure out just make sure when you take it apart that you remember which way the boot goes and the nut etc.. also before you start I would suggest removing your shift **** or at least loosening it first therefore when you remove the nut from the bottom it will be easy to remove the shift *** when you turn it.
