Larry, nice write up. The only thing I can add is that I did use the method of putting a ziploc bag around the cap and prying it off with the wrench. It feels like you're going to break it, or bend the wrench, but you won't. The cap came right off in the bag. Unfortunately, the bushings weren't so easy. I did end up dropping one and having to remove the center console to do the install. I recommend to others putting sticky-tak on the bushing like it said if you're doing this by yourself.

The SS is a good, quick mod. Throws are much shorter, mis-shifts are non-existent, and sloppiness is gone. The bushings I feel stiffened up the entire unit and made it feel solid.
