Steve, The shifter short-cuts pertain to the Crossfire. The Crossfire has an extra support bracket (spanning the mid-console directly ahead of the shifter). Rudy briefly described to me a clever method of removing the shifter that allows you to avoid dealing with the front support span (by modifying the rear support span. something that mmztimelord hypothesized as well) and how to remove the shifter to shift-rod clip without crawling under the car. I am hoping that Rudy will chime in here and go into greater detail on this.


the slk32 shifter area does not have this added hurdle
