Is the installation a PITA like the B&M shifter?
Example: grinding down a portion of the stock mounting plate to allow reverse gear to synchronize; any grinding required?
Also, buying serrated lock nuts were recommended to avoid OEM mounting plate mounted above the supplied blue B&M plate from shifting around after use: which overtime can prevent the Reverse Lockout feature to be used

Just to let you know... this piece is a direct replacement unit. You do not have to make ANY modifications to the car whatsoever. You will reuse all OEM hardware. I recommend some sort of loctite no matter what. A little loctite never hurt anything, as long as you use it cautiously.
As for the hardware, it does come with its own shifter bushings and collar. You really just remove the 7 10mm bolts, 1 12mm on the shifter and that it. The only challange I have come across when installing this shifter is putting the rubber liner under the shifter plate back neatly under the carpet and removing the factory shift knob.
