With using the shifter I have required a very small amount of cutting near the back edge of where the shifter bolts to the trans and the trans hump that is screwed to the floor requires a bit of cutting, I post a pic later but nothing major a small little patch panel was required. I was unable to use the factory non console shifter boot but if the car was console equipped this would not be an issue. The modified tail housing with the side shifter would fit no issues I'm sure. I used the factory bellhousing and manual linkage no issues and saved a bunch of money on a hydraulic release bearing.
