Merry Christmas to everyone. and this year I got a short shift and a new steering wheel for present. I got a grant steering wheel and B&M shifter. I just want to know how hard it is to change the two of them... Any tips and info will help a lot.
Thanks!

Wow you are in luck! One question..Do you have airbags? If you do you are going to have to deal with a flashing airbag light and an annoying beep once in a while. And dont try to remove the bulb cuz that just makes the beeping that much worse. I'll see if I have some pics of my short shifter install. If I don't I can prolly take some when I replace my shifter bushings. I'll keep you posted.

Isn't it illegal to take out your airbag, I think you have to get a pardon from the gov't for it, not that that would stop people, I'd suggest you get a steering wheel puller, i bought one at schmucks for $16.99, its by powerbuilt and is sweet, exchanging steering wheels took me like 15 min. (no airbag) and saved a good 3-4 lbs.

hmmmm thats wierd, because I live in canada but the rest of my family moved to Kentucky and they didnt let him keep his car because it didnt have airbags, god do they even do emitions testing down here? some things just blow my mind down here (im in kentucky for christmas)
