Everything is done from inside the car. Removing the center console takes almost as much time as installing the shifter. Remember to use a sharpie to mark the position of the cables before you unhook them- very important.
You may or may not have to remove the green colored 'floor plate'. Mine was in the way of one of the cables.

I found that I had to readjust the cables after installation anyway so marking the positions didn't matter.

The best thing to do is leave the armrest off for a while and drive the car around to make sure the adjustment is correct. Then make required changes and the put it back together.

I think it's always in the way because the rods sit so much closer to the floor.

blue2000s- I found marking the cables useful. I reinstalled one cable not at my mark and I couldn't shift properly. After I repositioned the cable at the mark everything worked fine. My experience.
Porsche makes a tool that keeps the shifter fixed in the neutral position so marking the cable is not an issue.
Agree on the floor plate. The cables do sit lower and catch on that piece.

Just a small note. Buyer beware of the $50.00 b&m knock off sold on e-bay. Make sure it comes with ALL parts. Not just the shifter by itself. Most sold for $50.00 DO NOT COME WIHT BUSHINGS nor the "C" clips. For most sold around $80-$90, they do come with everything. Look at the pictures. What you see is what you get. I made this mistake and had to buy the bushing seperate and then re-sold it on e-bay.

Are you sure it's "most"? Mine was $55 from A2inc and had everything.

Does anyone have any photos of installing the shifter?

Good info on all.
