Step
1 : Use a screw driver to pry off the top shift pattern from
the top
of the shifter.
Take your time and work all the way around the pattern. It only
snaps in place but after being there for almost 20 years it is
likely stuck in there good. |
 |
Step
2 : Use the same screw driver to pop out the lower frame. It
also snaps
in place but
again, be careful not to break it when removing it. Squeezing
it from the sides may also help with removal. |
 |
Step
3 : After the bottom frame is loose put it up so you can see
the part
of the shifter in
the picture. Use a screw driver to pop off the retaining clip
that holds the head of the shifter in place. When the clip comes
loose it likes to jump across the car so keep an eye on it. |
 |
Step
4 : When the shifter head is removed , take off the old boot.
The shifter
head slides into
the new boot from the top as shown. |
 |
Step 5 : Put the lower frame inside
the bottom of the boot as shown. Let the boot overlap the frame
just a little so it will tuck into the console and make a nice
seam. After the frame is in the boot slide the boot back over
the shift lever and secure the head of the shifter with the clip
you took off in step 3. Snap the bottom of the boot back into
the console using the lower frame. |
 |
Step 6 : Use your plastic shift pattern,
or stainless steel replacement cap as show in the picture, to
tuck in the excess material on top of the shifter head into the
hole in the top. Take your time on this step and go slowly. It
takes a little coordination to get it in there, but once its
in all the way around it will stay there nicely. |
 |
Step
7 : This is what your completed shifter should look like. If
you do
not want it to
be as bunchy at the bottom, the lower part of the boot can be
pulled down over the lower frame more for a tighter look. This
was made on a '85.5+ car. The installation of the boot is basicly
the same on an early car with a few minor changes. If you have
