I always use to see pics of a nice clean flush shift boot, with the lock nut hidden. I wondered how the hell they got it like that, read about zip ties and cut off pieces of hose, even newer boot types. So I decided to tackle this today, ended up creating yet another version of "shift boot stiffy"...

From some left over HT window seal, note: the squashed down end from being rubber banded with my seals kit, cut about an inch and a bit off.




Remove the center console (this just pops off easily) and the shift knob and locking nut.

Slip the cut off rubber piece over the shift rod, with the squashed off end up.
Put the console back in place feeding the "inside out" part of the boot on to the shift rod and over the new rubber piece, replace the shift locking nut, fiddle with it enough to get the boot covering the the lock nut. Press down on the top of the shift boot, to expose the locking nut enough so that you can adjust and tighten.
Replace the shift knob. Feeling the top of the boot feels firm, can't feel any zip ties or hose pieces in this boot. All done, all time permanent "shift boot stiffy"!!!!..:LOL:

I really need to try this. My OEM boot is sagging some and I hate the look of it, its even lower than my countersunk knob. I got some extra seals from my hardtop also, so i'm going to do this asap.

Thanks!
