just a few things

first,
you get what you pay for...

second,
saving about 100$ now might add up to
1000$ repair to a tranny if its not a soild part...

third,
you're from lockport? not lockport NY are you?

If you use the How to section, its very straight foward. Just be sure to PUSH IN the front clips at the front center console in order for them to pop out, as I broke them trying to pull them out.

Also, you might want to use a paper towel to spread the lithium grease over the shifter; that way you wont leave any grease residue all over your interiors .
