DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic

Great mod - looks so much better. Question, how is the shift boot held or affixed to the shift lever under the knob? Does the top of the boot attach under the shift knob somehow? Also, in the photos it looks like method simply places the new shift boot over the P/D/N/R plate- Is this correct?

the bottom of the shift knob comes down enough that there's very little gab between the boot ring and the knob.

and, yes, with my method you leave the circular plate, as it wedges the boot in place

I ordered a aftermarket chrome shift knob which will be in next week so I will post pics of my 6sp conversion when I'm done.

If anyone is in the process of doing this mod, can you post the dimensions of the shift boot? Height, diameter at bottom, diameter at the top and the overall length? Thinking of finding an aftermarket Alcantara boot and using that.
