1. Prepare the work area. Since this installation requires handling turbocharger and exhaust components, the vehicle should be cold. A top-side creeper will be a very valuable to ease this job. Alternatively, rolled shop towels can provide some cushion when laying over the engine while working on the turbocharger and exhaust pipes. Have a shop light handy.
2. Raise the hood fully. Locate and disconnect the negative lead from both batteries.

Please Note: It is preferable to park on a flat surface, as you will have to engage and disengage the hand brake and shift from gears to neutral. If you cannot do so and are obliged to install the short shifter on a slightly inclined surface, place wooden blocks in front and behind the wheels to prevent the car from moving while you’re working. Please read this manual completely before beginning to work on your car.
Estimated Installation Time: 60 minutes shifter only, 75 minutes with base bushings

Relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
