How did you secure the boot to the shifter?

Just curious what (if anything) you did to keep this from happening.

Thanks

I have the TWM shifter boot. It has less material than the stock one and also doesn't have the plastic ring. Having said that, I use a rubber O-ring to help hold the boot up. I have seen other guys cut the end off a pop bottle. I have seen pictures but can't remember what thread. Mr.Kenchan might know, I think he did that.

I have the boot as well. It just rattles like crazy underneath the stock shift knob. Just curious what if anything you did to yours. Ill pull it off here when I get some time.

The TWM has a plastic ring? Hmm... I have to have a look at mine again. I do know that mine doesn't rattle but I didn't drive with the stock shifter knob. Try the O-ring idea?
