Haven't done one, but I imagine if you are methodical and do everything correctly it shouldn't take much more than an hour. I think the directions say 45 min or so.

Yeah, if your mechanically inclined it shouldn't take you more than an hour.

yep it took me 30 min, and that's with a drive to the autozone to get torx bits, cuz i didn't have any. no center console, and no shift knob cap makes for an interesting drive. there's a really good how to on here, make sure you mark the shift linkage when you unplug the gray clip, that way you won't have to make any adjustments when you put it back together.

size T20 btw
