This video does not cover the V6 centering springs. There are not easy to get too. I had to lower the shifter and remover the upper rubber boot to remove them. Installing the boot back is a real pain you know where. The hurst hot line was no help at all, they told me I need to remove the driveshaft. (NOT) If you do that you need to replace the bolts you do not use them over again.

I did not have to remove the rubber boot. Once i knew what i was looking for, it really wasn't that bad.

You should be able to leave the springs and boot installed. It will probably be a two person job though. As the Hurst shifter gets installed from the bottom, someone working from inside the vehicle needs to "open" the centering springs with a couple of flat blade screwdrivers and allow the shaft of the shifter to slide up through the spring ends and through the top of the boot opening. There should be no need to remove the driveshaft.
