The person who did that to my car before I bought it didnt do it very well, and it broke on me, on a 5 lane highway with NO place to turn off. That day sucked. I like the whole idea of the one piece setup, less **** breaks that way.
There's like 4 bolts you need to unscrew to do this. It's fairly straightforward. Get a manual and jack the car up, once you look under there you'll get it.

A true short shifter has a shorter throw. I believe this topic was covered only a few days ago...With pics of how to install to boot.

Do yourself a favor and DONT buy the aluminum SS on ebay or elsewhere. They are JUNK and <U>always</U> break. Ive replaced them when they broke off at the ball and the car had to be towed. IMHO Hondas dont need SS, I have a GSR shifter in my EF hb, works great and it will never break. My .02
