Default twm short shifter, where to install?

Just got the twm short shifter stage 2 with the bombshell weighted ****. Wondering if anyone can recommend me to a place in orange county(santa ana, costa mesa, huntington beach, fountain valley) area that can install it for a cheap price. Everywhere i went to they are asking for 150-210. I would do it myself but i do not have any tools . Or if anyone can offer to do it for me and knows what they are doing name me a price.

THanks for any help

don't spend money on having someone else do it...

i wouldn't pay even $20.. talk to a buddy that has some tools... buy him some lunch and have you both go at it.

best thing to do is go to one of the weekly local meets, talk to people. buy him/her food and ask for help

Its not that hard at all, but if you insist of a shop doing it, I would try Project Import in Orange. They are great guys and always take care of me.

first time installing a short shifter.. didn't know what i was doing.. looked over the instructions.... borrowed friend's tools..

and then 20 min. start to finish..

tools are the big thing... a big fat screwdriver is helpful..
