Nah not really and maybe I didn't it the hard way because I completely unbolted the shifterand housing and flipped it upside down it look like I could have unsnapped the just shifter but I didn't want to lose any parts
Reason why mine only took 20 min was because I didn't unbolt it all, just snapped it off and used a long T handle to get it started and small allen key to torque it down.
One through the back hole in 5th gear and the other with the car in 2nd gear from the front. With a 2mm allen key and I put some blue loctite on the set screws before the install.
A lot nicer, I didn't.have it in all the way the first time so when I went to drop gears I found myself pulling it all apart on the spit to fix it then add some thread lock and she is good to go
