If you have done it before, then why are you asking, not trying to be rude or anything!

its an easy install, I think he means he's installed short throws before like on other cars, not a fb. Like was said earlier, a few trim pieces and 3 bolts basically. I have the mazdatrix one and as far as short throws go its pretty good, although after driving a few other cars with stock shifters I think I'm gonna switch back, the stock shifter is smoother. Anyone wanna buy a short throw?

If you just want a shorter shifter, buy an acrylic ball (or pool ball etc...) and tap the center of it. That will drop a good inch or two off the shifter height. though beware those ***** hold heat in the summer, lighter color or clear acrylic is a cool way to go.
