No particular problems. British Automotive sells a plastic transmission
tunnel top cover that replaces the old one after you cut away a bit at
the rear of the opening, and makes it easy to locate a new shifter hole.
I used the old oval boot and trim ring, with the new shift lever and knob.
Since you are (presumably) using the entire Mk. II drivetrain, you won't
have any of the issues I encountered, such as replacing the engine rear
plate, starter, and flywheel.
