What kind of boot are you using? Also would you reccomend cutting the shifter while it is still on the car and just retap it then? Seems like it would be a whole lot easier...

No, it would be near impossible to grind the rod with it in the car. Plus it would be a huge mess.

But yeah I was just trying to avoid the hassle of taking out and putting in the shifter.

wood Trim - Manual Shift
Where did you find the wood trim to work with the manual shifter? Is that stock from the automatic, or is the trim made for a manual shift? I have been looking forever to find wood trim to work with my manual shifter and was not sure if I can use one from an automatic or not.

Sorry, I like to have my mods look "finished" after I install them. I didn't know that we were counting 1/2-@$$ installs as things that "fit."

Okay they are 2 different pieces specific to the type of transmission but it still fits and you can still use it either way.
Yeah its a little odd and "1/2 done" I'm on a budget. I wasn't here to say it looks better, just that it fits. Doesn't interfere with the shifter or anything.

Haha no thanks. I don't like the skinny-ness of the opening. There was one website that had the piece and boot for 20 something bucks.
I did notice all the links are crazy though in the stickies.
