replace A4 shifter assembly

I already messed up the one on the car , I will pick up a used shifter assembly today , is this something that a weekend warrior can do , or do I need a tranny shop?

I replaced mine. Bought new from Gene Culley,not a cheap part.Be careful of the brake release cable. i broke the connector and had to put a self tap screw in to hold it on. So far so good. Took less then a hour even with the repair. Good luck, I should have taken pics.

Don't lift it too far or you'll break the main shift cable which requires removal of the exhaust and tunnel plate to change that.
