pull the front part up slowly, then pull the back part of it off after removing the shift ****. That's how I do mine..

I find it 10x easier to take the top part of the console off than the boot when doing any shifter work.

i dont think so, the umi is angled right where it mounts keeping it away from anything when its in reverse, or 6th gear.

i didnt cut any body boot or anything, it bolts right in, not that if that was directly to me or not calhoon

with the UMI SS u feel more gear, a litte more noise too. but u dont have to cut anything.. and its angled perfectly and makes the throws 100x shorter
