For the guys that did the install themselves. How long did it take and what was the toughest part?

I love my MGW but that is the only one I have had on the Vette so no other point of reference except for stock to be honest.

Toughest part is the removal of the center console, etc. The actual shifter install is cake! Just take your time and you will be fine. Not difficult at all. Took about an hour.

Wow I really have to try this shifter out one day. I have the Callaway and I'm completely satsifed with it, but no shifter gets as much support as the MGW. I wish it was out when I got mine. Sounds like you made the right decision....oh and install is pretty easy.
