02 WS6 Hurst - Leather Shifter Boot Cover Slips Down On my 02 WS6 with Hurst shifter, the leather shifter boot cover isn't attached to the bottom of the shifter ****...should it be? It always drops so you can see about an inch or two of the actual shaft. It seems like the top of the boot should somehow be attached to the ****?
If it should be attached, what part am I missing to keep it held up in place?

Ok, just making sure...seems odd that it sits like that. It just looked funny to me and there seems to be plenty enough leather to allow the stick to move through the gears even if it was at the top.

Feels great...gets rid of the mushy feeling, 2-3 shifts are perfected. I'm running the 6" version. I dont like the other short sticks which are angled towards you...guess I'm just used to the straight up/down stick.

I bought a fat rubber o-ring from the hardware store and and put it on the shaft right below the shift ****. Put the shifter boot back on over the o-ring and then put the **** back on. The o-ring keeps the boot from sliding down. Cheap fix and you can't see it.

Get the ws6store stick 6". The absolut best 25.00 ive ever spent on the car. It not only looks better, but no more shifting a wet noodle. And yes it helps you shift better, havent missed 2-3 yet.

Hi Folks
Ordered and received my 6 1/2 shifter rod. I can tell you it does make a difference, I like the feel. It is like you have move control of the shifting. I am going to try bending the rod over (to the driver's side) 10 to 15 degrees. My other car has the shifter over about the same angle, I just like that way. Will heat up the rod and move it over - out of the car.
Thanks
Bill
PS: ws6store is great to deal with - fast service!!

Hi Folks
I find it easier to power shift with the 6 1/2" stick ( I am sure the 6" is as good if not better) - less distance to travel. In this case bigger is not better.

I've been using the 6.5" for over a month now and it does feel better than stock. However, I'm a wuss so I'm going back to stock...just too much work for the type of driving I have to do.
Anyone that wants my 6.5" you can have it for $20 shipped, includes bolts, nuts, washers. I paid $25 plus shipping from ws6store.com. Send me a PM if interested.
