I think the transmission needs to come out. Not worth it unless you are taking it out to rebuild it anyways.

That job is a huge PITA by the way... and I swear I think I broke the new one as soon as I installed my shifter.

Fc313 : You need to take out the transmission to get to the shifter spring, Its a PITA.
