The console must be removed. It's a simple install that should take no more than 30-45 minutes. Good choice!!!

I have the Hurst and love it. Just remember there are screws in the ash tray and vent by the ignition. Very easy to install. If you use an after market **** put it on before you install the shifter to make sure that the **** is not up side down.

Another tip. Pull up on the part of the console near the arm rest first. After this clears, it is MUCH easier to remove the trim around the radio, etc. In other words, don't try to out smart the directions like I did.
