no, not the one on the floorboard. i am talking about the round one that covers up the snap ring area. how do you get the shifter into two pieces to change that boot? the shifter does not seem to be able to unscrew into two pieces, so there must be a trick. FSM shows nothing about it. thanks.
i'd upload a pic, but the board is fawked up and won't take them.
Pop out the snap ring at the base and remove the shifter. I can't remember if I slid the new boot on from the top or bottom though. Thinking top, so no need to remove the shifter in that case. It's been over 6 months, so I forget :flipoff2:
i already popped out the snap ring and have the thing in my kitchen. the bottom has the ball, and there is no way i can get the new boot over that. the top half gets almost and inch wide at the base below the knob threads, so i am afriad i will tear it doing that.
It won't tear, trust me. If it is new that is. An old one probably will though. I'd install it from the top. After that, use it in the kitchen to mix up some eggs as well

Thats what I used...even though mine is off and 85 it did not tear...worked it up and over with the help of a skinny screwdriver.........
