TRD short throw shifter, am I capable of doing this?

I picked up a trd short throw shifter off of tbo here. I'm just wondering whats involved in installing one of these and whether I could do it without to much difficulty. I'm pretty noobish at working on cars so I'd be looking for some help from you guys.

Thanks.

I agree, I did one this summer and it went real smooth. Just pay attention to where all of the parts came from and you should be ok. Also, I had to put some washers under the entire shifter assembly to raise it because the bottom of the short shifter is longer than the stock one.

This is one of the first things I did myself on a car aside from general maintenance, you should be fine.
 
wow that was pretty easy. The hardest part was putting on those clips.

Though I'm not noticing a huge improvement in shift distance. The shift arm seems longer then the stock one i'm guessing this is offsetting any gain of the short throw shifter. Where could I go to get the arm cut shorter and rethreaded?
