yeah.. to be safe take off your whole shifter.. the 4 bolts, and tape up that hole. Makes it easier once you pull the trans out so the shifter doesnt hit. Alot easier putting it up too with the shifter off.. for me it was atleast. Just keep her supported.. make sure you get all the bolts, I think theres 8 for the trans. Take your time.. and mine broke free pretty easily.
