The only hard part is removing the **** from the shaft. You just need leverage. Really, it's very doable.

I have done it. Just be careful not to smash yourself in the forehead when the original one pops off. Mine took a lot of force to yank up. If you are not tall, you can straddle the console. But seriously, protect your forehead! DOH!

Is not hard. Maybe 5 mins.
Remove / Unclip and pull loose the boot.
Turn the plastic nut below the **** on the shaft.
Pull up and out the **** with the boot.

Yes, watch your forehead and back.
Give it a try! There are lots of options, check out Suncoast site. X-51 maybe??

I changed mine to the turbo CF shift ****. It's tough but no need to waste your money going to the dealer.
