I'd be 99% sure it'll fit perfectly. I doubt they changed the shifter mechanism from the 2008s.

Won't void your warranty unless you somehow install it wrong and blow up your transmission. But that'd be nearly impossible.

it shouldnt void your warranty because if i think my facts are right. there is a law out there protecting tuners such as us saying the if the part installed is performance inhancing and dose not reduce performance from stock then it shouldnt restrict warranty but it dose say they dont have to replace the part you broke if with the same one it will be replaced with the stock part

Not quite. Keep reading.

The basic ideas are this:
If you install an aftermarket part, the dealer must PROVE that the aftermarket part caused a problem. They can only deny warranty work on that particular item. So if you install springs and your radio dies, they still have to fix the radio.

The car owner can replace wear & tear items with any of their choosing. So when you need new spark plugs, brake pads, etc. you are allowed to use whatever brand you want.

Ok, I installed mine and was very pleased. I love how I can trick my friends into thinking that 5th gear is 3rd gear.
Anyways at first everything was just fine untill one day I downshifted from 5th to 4th gear. Normally I can just take my hand place it on the knob and slide it down to 4th gear. I now have to remember that I need to pull it down and move it a bit to the left before i placed it into 4th. If not it will stay in between 4th and reverse. I'm not sure if I am being very clear.
It's no biggie i ll get use to it, it just doesn't feel as automatic anymore. Anyone else have this problem?
Another concern I am having is that when in neutral my shifter does not stay in a single location. Meaning that when in neutral if I move it to the right and let go the shifter will stay in a different positions then when I push it to the left and let go.
Call me crazy for noticing this but I think I remember that when the stock shifter was in it would stay in one spot in neutral.
This is one of the reasons why why I think it is harder to get 5th gear into 4th.
