couple points to make, I found that the only bolts related to the old shifter requiring removal were the 6 along the base plate. Curious if I had removed the upper 4 if it would have allowed for more room to turn the 6 bolts from inside the cockpit as opposed to underneath the car. Those 6 bolts had some kind of loctite agent, which made the bolts very difficult to remove, especially from underneath the car. The Pro 5 unit I purchased could not be installed from underneath in one piece, as the unit would not slip between the drive shaft. Maybe my tower was bigger than his (haha) or the drive line was positioned differently. If memory serves, the top 4 bolts mentioned in the previous post would not have enabled the turnning of the socket wrench from above the car, but I could be wrong, if that's the case, wish I had known, since it took me about an hour to remove the 6 bolts from underneath the car, and many cuts and scrapes. I also needed to use a small pry bar to get leverage on the socket wrench to break each of the 6 bolts initially.
