I blew them out with my compressor and vacuum the up when I was done.

I'm just worried about them getting down in the tranny, or in the shifter area and messing up something. I don't have a Compressor lol and my hand vac won't have enough focused power to get it all out... oh well lol

Don't over analyze it just trim the shifter base & the black bottom piece on the 6sp part and assemble and enjoy.

It will all be good!!!

Look at this piece closely and you will see where I cut it,but since every thing is black you have to look at the pic for awhile.

Yup, I have the bottom piece trimmed the same way, it's not the bottom piece thats hitting, it's the upper piece thats hitting that white shifter box. =/

You have to trim the upper piece a little in the same spot you trimmed the lower black piece (the circular part)but don't worry about the boot being unsupported when it is installed it is up against the shifter housing you have been cutting on.

Plus you have to trim around the black square where the hazard switch goes.
