Danny, it takes time. The clockspring is what they call the mechanism that allows the switches (horn, air bag, cruise, radio) on the rotating steering wheel to electrically connect to the fixed steering column. Itis a ribbon of wire wound like a coiled clock spring. This was primarily done to eliminate any resistance or break in continuity that the old carbon button that was used in the old days for the horn button. You will be amazed how easy an install the floor shift is. On my truck the cup holder is still fully functional and the ash tray to it left can still be opened when the lever is not in park. Gate shifters take some getting use to, but the rachet is sweet.
