Default skip shifter install

I just ordered a skip shift eliminator. Is this something I can install myself? How is it done? Thanks.

It will take you longer to jack the car up than to install it. My wife could do it......

If your not overweight you can drive one side up on the curb, throw a blanket down on the ground and slide under the rear end. Its the only tagged connection. White/black lettering, says something like SKPSHFT. Been more than two years so I dont recall exactly. Bring a needle nose so you can pull your zips tight and trim them. 5 minutes from start to finish, no jacking, dont let the ol lady see one of her good blankets on the ground.

Its a very easy install once you figure out where the connection is.

As everyone states it takes longer to jack the car up securly then to do the install.

As a suggestion if you dont have a set of ramps I would invest in some rhino ramps (and jack stands) which will make working under the car much safer.
