How to install lower shift boot

Recommended Posts

After I installed my built transmission I realized how aged and torn my lower shift boot had become and figured it was time to upgrade.

I ordered a new shift boot and set about the easy install.

Tools needed: 8mm socket, 13mm socket, I used a 1/4 ratchet and a short extension to make the job easier.

Step 1: Remove shift knob by turning counter-clockwise.

Step 2: Gently pull shifter bezel outwards and disengage the cig lighter harness by pulling it apart.

Step 3: Remove the two 13mm bolts that hold the shifter handle to the shifter base.

Step 5: Pull out lower shift boot and its metal retaining frame. Separate metal frame from boot.

These staples hold the frame and boot together, remove staples and install frame on top of new shift boot.
