    It is, follow the cable to the tranny and its held on by one bolt. Unbolt it and pull it out, thats it..

    unplug the harness and pull it straight out. theres a C clip holding the gear on. pop the clip off and the gear slides off. then slide the new one on and put the clip back on and slide it in! easy as 1,2,3
