How to install MGW Short Throw Shifter on a '08 Viper?

[604]

Hey guys,

Just finished installing random tech high flow cats along with the corsa exhaust.

Now, I wanted to install the MGW Short Throw shifter. MGW is closed right now (can't call) but I got the car on the hoist and wanted to finish this all today. I couldn't find instructions online. I just wanted to make sure I did it properly.

I'd appreciate it if you could help me out!

Thanks!

Remove the shift boot bezel and lower half of console. Underneath, remove aluminum belly pan, driveshaft and Trans crossmember. Let the Trans hang and reach up over Trans to change.

I realize that this if from the "Ready, Shoot, Aim" department but here's the link. In case anyone else is following this thread before the install.
this was done on an 04, but its basically the same.

Not everyone can view that forum.

Driveshaft does not need to be removed to lower the back of the transmission (trans mount removed) five or six inches. Driveshaft front yoke slides out a bit accomodate increased driveshaft length.
