Is it necessary to un-hook the battery? If so why?

Don't want to waste those 3 minutes

No, I have installed it on my previous vettes w/o disconnecting the battery. I think every piece of aftermarket product I have ever bought tells you to disconnect the battery. For some products it is a must - however, I believe most of them it is an extra saftey precaution (and also for liability reasons).

I didn't unhook the ground either. After the install my shifter is smoother going into gear this was a unexpected benifit. Has anyone else had this experience?

Should have no effect on the smoothness of the shift, unless you used to fight the CAGS all the time and try to get it into 2d when it didn't want to let you.
