Thanks for the compliment,

It is possible that your shifter may not be crippled like mine was, since yours is an 05 it may not be the exact same shifter.(if someone would be kind enough to tell me how to insert pics in this box, i will put the pics of the stock shifter and show everyone what i am talking about) But if it is,you do not know what you are missing and even if it's not you still do not know what your missing. You will save time going through the gears with a better than factory shifter, I promise. I installed a Hurst Competition Plus 391 0201 and I asked myself why did I wait so long, like night and day. It is a very easy change out, the instruction say about 30 min. but for a home builder it took just a few minutes longer. yeah like would you believe 3 hrs.LOL My nephew spun off one of the studs underneath and we had to drill out for a new nut and bolt. I bet nobody will ask me to help out working on there car now. Yeah I'm like, please hand me the saw saw and the sledge hammer please and while your at it hand me the skill saw will ya.LOL There are a few tricks, one in paticular is to put the dust boot on before you install the new shifter. I about lost all the patients I had trying to get my hands down in that confined area to get the dust boot back on. SIZE DOES MATTER, sorry guys.
