TRD Quick Shifter & 5-Speed Manual Shift Knob Kit - Toyota Yaris Forums

^^My sentiments exactly. I just bought the two piece kit from a someone here. If you're just replacing the small billet piece at the bushing, it's a 5 minute job. But, if you're changing out the bracket as well, it'll take much longer. I actually ended up going from underneath the car and getting my arms up around the transmission as if I were hugging it. I had to remove the three bolts by feel as there isn't an easy way to see them. The hardest part for me was getting those damn “U” clips off, they are stuck tight and not easy to get to. I removed the bracket with them still attached and then removed them with a screwdriver and hammer. My hands and arms are shredded as well. But it was all worth it, what a difference it makes!
