DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic

Baer383

A dremel will work good (I should have used mine it would have been neater)but no I used a cut off wheel from my work.
Just so you know you don't have to cut all the way through the shifter housing just need to cut a groove ,there is nothing electrical in the way.

They had a battery powered dremel kit for 80... I wants lol.

Ok, I'm trying to do more from the trim piece more than the housing, but they are not cooperating.

On the 6sp assembly if you unscrew the bottom black plastic piece that's the piece that needs to fit once that piece fits you should be able to screw the 6sp assembly back together and fit it on the console.

I thought so too, but apparently the upper piece has a very small lip on it, I'm gonna have to file that down in the front to get it to fit. =/

The only thing I can see it hitting now is a small white... button of some sort on the left side of the shifter. I have no idea what it does, or how to remove it so I can't cut it. Therefore I have to cut the trim piece which I was hoping to not have to do.

I've had it, I'm buying that dremel tomorrow. You watch after I get that though it's only going to take 15 mins and bam I'm done.

Although I am noticing the whole console trim piece when in place, doesn't want to sit all the way down. I'm wondering if it won't sit flush once it's mounted.

It will sit just like the auto piece,and the little white box on the left is for the shift lock in case you need to put the car in neutral just push down on the top and pull it in neutral,don't cut this box trim the black 6sp piece to go around it.

Yeah, I'm not messing with that thing.

But I've decided to call it quits for the night and start again tomorrow when there's more daylight. I'll go to Ace and get the dremel set cause with my file it's just taking too long to trim this piece down.
