Not at all!
You can adjust the height of the shifter with the car fully reassembled. The easiest way I can explain how to adjust the shifter is the following:
(I am Right Handed...so the placement of my hands are probably opposite for a Left Handed Person)
Sitting in the Driver's seat. Use your left hand and grab the shifter. Use your right hand and grab the shift boot. Beneath the boot, you will feel the adjustment collar. Pulling the collar up, you can then adjust the shifter's height by pulling or pushing the shifter up or down with your left hand.
It will take a little playing with to fully grasp the concept, but once you actually try it with it installed. You will be able to do it on the fly.
...and for some reason. If you cannot do it with the shift boot and shifter installed. You can pop shift boot panel off and reach underneath it to release the collar.
Something else I should forewarn you...and so can anyone else who has removed the factory shifter....IT WILL BE A PAIN! It is possible to remove the shifter without damaging. You dont need pipe wrenches or any of that garbage. It will take muscle and patience.
Give me a call if you have any questions as to the installation.
