The Subaru shifter is a pretty simple bolt-on. You do need to crawl under the car to access a couple fasteners, but that's about it. Probably about a 30-45 minute job with basic hand tools; a 10mm and
12mm wrench and socket, flat and phillips screwdriver, floor jack and jackstands. Others may vary, some I know are _just_ the shift lever, some have different bushings as well. The Subaru shifter is the complete assembly. Tell us what kind you are considering, and maybe someone can give you specifics. You might also try clubWRX.net or i-club for nfo. Hope this helps.ByeBye!
