There are shift kits but aren't really sought after since the aw4 is fine like it is. I can pm you link to shift kit if your still interested

should be two big connectors right under the tranny dipstick other then that not much besides the tv cable on the throttle linkage and it just snaps off then grab the other side that's going through the bracket with pliers and pull it through don't forget to disconnect the cps, main shift linkage, and pull out filler tube so it wont get bent think thats about it prolly forgetting something
