I recently installed my leather shifter boot the wrong way than the right way might i add. i just want to know what you orgers did to make the top of the leather boot stay up under the **** my boot just drops it looks stupid did you tie it up there or am i missing something cuz driving around with my polished shifter bar showing is not cool

 

please can someone help me do i need some other piece to make the top of the boot look like its flush to the **** ????

 

use some black tie wraps

 

didnt the stock shifter boot come with some kind of plastic thing that held it up flush with the **** cus if i use black ties it looks stupid all squeezed tight against skinny shifter pole... If there is a plastic piece it would be great for someone to tell me where i can get another

 

anyone have anyway they have done this before???

 

r u serious no one has an answer to this??? how did everyone else do the new shifter boot installs????

 

i'm about to do one, i'll probably just use a small zip tie

 

I'm sure if you think long and hard about it, you'll figure something out. It's not that hard..... You could roll the first part of the boot inside and use a rubber band or something elastic to hold it in place then mount it back over the shifter.

 

black tie wraps might come loose, a pipe clamp is what im using, tighten it up real tight, its not going anywhere... then if you have a dremel, cut the excess metal off.

 

can someone show me where the distributor cap locate on a 95 Maxima?

 

lol wow ... our cars do not have distributor caps chief

The howto book Hanes or Hayes..whatever it was that I bought showed the distributor cap...and a dummy like me thought that means it must have one...but I follow the wire all over up and down and cussing thinking I must be stupid or something!...I kept telling myself this book must wrong......what a waste of $15.....

 

another question: where can I get replacement for the insulation for my car to reduce wind noise? it is loud! thanks

 

y dont you look at the old boot...

What does this mean?

 

why dont you get one of those velcro ties that you can cut and stick to any surface?

 

He's responding to the thread you hijacked...
In response to Sickblackmax, look at your old shift boot hardware, remove it, and put it in the new one you just installed. You'll probably have to remove it to do so though.
Coolbrew: The Haynes manual goes from 1993-2001, so by showing a distributor cap, they are referring to the 93-94 models. Read the captions to make sure they are describing the right year.

 

Sorry didnt mean to hijack anything..I cant post new thread here...I think I need 15 posts before I can post new thread. thx

 

crazy glue the inside of the top of the boot, it works

 

No hard feelings Just trying to straighten the thread out.

 

what shifter hardware cuz i didnt have any???? i would like to know so that i can try to find a replacement part if thats what i am missing as for the other solutions i need pics

 

bump.............

 

i wrapped tape around the shifter itself and made it thick enough to hold the shift boot up.

 

holy crap, :

there is no better way to do this. whats the problem?

 

thats whats wrong

 

problem with elastic bandsin the car is that it dries up and starts to crumble.. use tie wraps

 

heres your pic



my bad, a 'hose clamp'. works great.
