This seems interesting, but "1 hour if you take your time" seems very optimistic, maybe Troy can comment.

From reading the instructions, I see that adjustment of the rod ends to get the car to shift properly was a step. From my experience (with a Brandwood cable shifter on a porsche 901 trans) this can take all day to get right, and is hardly an easy process. When you get the 1st-2nd plane working the other planes fail, and each adjustment is just a compromise between each of the shift planes. Maybe with a Toyota trans this is different, but I still have scars on my wrists from doing the adjustments!
