It was pretty much plug 'n' play for me.

Odo/speedometer is now off, and I wouldn't recommend this to someone who did a lot of driving in a hilly urban setting. (Noticeably more clutch slippage required for a 1st gear start, and general decline in acceleration ability.)

For the type of driving I do (mostly highway) it was an effective mod. I even wish for a taller 5th gear still.
