I have my SMC on order and will hopefully arrive soon. I have two questions.

1) How do most people have the shifter adjusted for throw on the SMC shifter?

2) Is there a better option out there for the shifter boot, or do most people just use the original leather one. If so does it look weird with the shorter shifter?

3) Shifter ****....keep it or throw it away? I would like to salvage the **** ....but if it is stubborn I am going to need a new ****....any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Removing the **** is easy...

I just did it yesterday to put on the AE ****. I took an "adjustable pliers/channel lock" (for removing pipe stuff, not monkey wrench) wrapped a rag around the original **** (twice for overlap) and then put the pliers on.

I squeezed hard, but not to hard, and with a quick motion to the (right/counterclockwise?) broke the seal and was able to hand unscrew it the rest of the way. Dont squeeze to hard or you will leave the jaw imprint on your shifter
