very easy thing to do, got to have the car in the air because the bolts you will be looking for reside on the other side of the exhaust. you can drop just the bolts to release the shifter itself and slide the new one in after lubing it. or drop the exhaust and lower that section of shifter linkage and replace the small bushing and then add the short shifter as well. not an easy job for a newb and not a very hard one either. and as for the bolts i dont remember it being anything special but if i get a chance i will break out the super thick daddy manual and look for ya since i have mine down right now as well
