[Tigers] Shifter Installation (and engine R&R to-do list)

[Tom Parker]

I just went through that this past weekend with my Hurst shifter.  I had to
remove the transmission mount and drop the transmission down, and I had to
remove the Hurst backing plate and install it first (there's a captive
bolt...). I may have had to remove the outer shift rod, I don't recall...
(it was a frustrating job, but do-able.)

I think the original Ford shifter would be easier; you may have to remove
the shift lever, but it isn't as bulky as the Hurst.
