It's installed. It's definitely nice. I'm not sure if I filed enough material away to help with the reverse engagement. I am able to get into reverse but it's a little difficult at times. Maybe I will take a look at it again next weekend though I really don't want to... it was a pain in the ***.

I ended up destroying the stock shifter which sucks because I'm not too happy with the one I bought to replace it. With my gf holding vice grips on the shift lever I was able to turn the knob about 1.5 times with my bare hands before I couldn't do it anymore which was kind of interesting... I thought it'd be easy once I broke the lock. Ended up getting pissed and just took the vice grips to it and got the knob off.

I'm happy with the shifter, just not so happy with what I did to the stock knob and the feel of my replacement. I might swing by the dealership to see if I can order a stock knob.
