      Talking Modify your shift boot

      I got the orginal idea from another Member:) :) thanks
      HERE IS WHAT YOU DO.

      1. Remove the the shift boot cover.

      2. Take off the silver ring and the clip(cap) that hold it together, use a flat screw driver to pry the piece apart.

      3. now here is the shit!!!:p :p put the Silver ring inside the rubber boot ...UPSIDE DOWN...and use that other piece to lock it back in .

      4. That piece I'll call the cap, is slightly oval make sure the pointed end is towards the front (radio).

      5. I even use a small amount of super glue at the point where the silver ring touches the rubber boot up on top and some more super glue where the cap touch the boot.

      6. screw on the lock nut from your shift knob onto the stick... you can almost go all the way down with it. You might need to do some adjustment when you screw on the new knob on for the reason so that you can make sure the writing on the knob is straight and the fit is tight.

      7. put back the boot . That Silver ring will fit over your nut.
