I was able to install without removing anything but the shifter trim etc. I bent the heat shield and reached up to get to the clip. It was a simple process. The only drawback, which I don’t actually consider a drawback, is it makes a little more noise when it slides into gear. I didn’t notice it rotating the gear knob that much. It’s very precise, like a rifle bolt. I highly recommend it.

I am considering this shifter for the very same reasons you mentioned, also agree on all you said about autosolutions shifter - it will provide better feel and zero play, but the extra cost and installation dificulty make it less convincing for me.
The sound you describe is present with any proper shifter with a solid steel ball and I think it's normal. I have delrin carrier bushings and turner poly arm bushing so I can already hear some stuff from the gearbox and I think it's cool
Would you mind sending a photo of the knob from above? I also have the M5 knob and I would hate if it was rotated even a bit because of the shifter...
