Well you can start by changing your Automatic Transmission shifter to a Manual shifter type. Only problem if your tranny has an overdrive.

Yea that was my only concern. I have a power button but I'll still be able to hit that. Maybe I can reroute the od?

It is a little tricky to do this. I will try to post instructions on my website [http://www.calituners.com] as soon as I can. Some issues on doing this, at least in my opinion:

1. You have to cut the overdrive wire
2. It is difficult to put the stock handle back in-case you change your mind
3. The aftermarket shifter does not stay in place if you don't know how to bolt it on
