Yes AC Plastic pipe still routes through fine.
Yes the center console has Thai plastic bar up at the front spot of the shifter that connected across left to right you have to cut that section out to clear the shifter (it’s only like 1” out and fully concealed by the shifter boot/trim)
Yeah you don’t need to lock out the shifter to adjust with this.
Because this has the adjuster at the hand lever area that are basically “stops” you just get the car into gear and adjust the stops for 1/2 gate and 5/6 gate
