the only thing is it *might* hit the exhaust, but usually thats not a problem, and can usually be adjusted. also, it moves the gears faster, so you can grind the hell out of your synchros if you dont speed up your clutch foot to make up for the faster moving shifter. but overall, if youre not an idiot, you can figure it all out, and youll be fine. and youll love having one. oh, and get the polyurethane bushing kit too, that makes as much difference as the shifter itself.

I just did it this weekend and it was really easy.

Yep, mine sure did hit the exhaust, there's a little counterweight lookin thing in there that I cut off and solved the problem.

Only major problem you might run into would be a made-out-of-crap shifter. Don't buy aluminum ones (I know I have one and it's all good, but you never know).
