Default Unusual Problem with MGW Shifter

After reading a bunch of positive stuff about the MGW unit, I took the plunge and bought one. My problem: the installation CD is defective. Anyone else had a similar issue?

I've never even looked at mine. Do you need help installing the shifter?

Why don't you bop over here and do it for me? The North Georgia mountains are lovely this time of year!

On a serious note, I'll find you if I run into trouble with the install.

The console screws are 1 under the little vent by the ignition and 1 under the pull-ou ash tray. A 3rd is beside the ash tray as well. You also pull out the little 1/2 circle shaped piece with the traction control button to get to some nuts. Everything else is pretty easy to figure out. If you want to play with the alignment, which I'd recommend you at look at, then the shifter basically should be straight-up when in neutral and the 3-4 gate. There is a pin you're supposed to drop into the hole to align it too. A search here will find detailed alignment instructions.

Hey, George love the new design with only one handle for C5s. Just got mine a couple weeks ago and got it installed. I also did the Anti-Venom mod at the same time. Buttah........
