you dont need a lift. Its not too hard. Just a little time consuming.
you can do it, cowboy.
It's not that difficult.
did mine with out a lift no problem
No lift when I installed mine
If you drive down to MGW in Georgia they will install it for your free when they are not busy. Takes them about 40 minutes.
Installed on jackstands in under an hr and a half.
Others have traveled further, just last week a guy from Michigan trailered his supercharged mustang to Jpc just to get it dyno tuned. Some folks will travel to get what they need!
+1 I didn't install heat shield or dynamat and have NO additional NVH. There is a new video of rich installing it on a boss and not a table. He has good tips and tricks to help make life easier
Your comparing getting a Supercharger installed and tuned to installing a Short shifter. Face palm.
No he already had it installed, he traveled for the tune alone! That's quite a distance for just a tune! Not only that he trailered the car. Palm to face!

I'm road tripping to South Carolina in June for vacation, stopping at MGW on the way and having it installed. I could do it as I'm lucky to have access to a car lift, but like the idea that
it will be installed by the the guys who actually made this incredible shifter.

I installed myself by driving it up on a pair of ramps and then jacking up the rear and putting the axle on jack stands. Thing gave me plenty of room to crawl underneath, but able to access via the top as needed.
The most difficult of the install for me was in placing the clamshell design around the shifter rod. Not overly difficult, but just a pain for me in getting my hands in there.

I didnt think they were available other than from MGW new?
Anyway I did mine on jack stands. The bolts from under the car were a little tedious but not hard. The freaking rubber boot took the longest. Its pretty easy though. 2 hours w/ multiple beer/bullshitting breaks.
Tip: try to get as much done under the car at one time it gets old real quick getting under the car to get back out over and over.
Im not totally like Ohmygerdddd its the best ever mod, but its better than stock.
Use the dynamat.

You have to buy these shifters directly from MGW! They are not sold anywhere else!
