Ok when I bought my 1995 trans am there was not a shift boot and I want to finish the resto to the console. What do I need to mount this? Why would someone take out the boot other than it may have ripped is there any fitment issue with the stick? Any ideas on how to fix it or if a newer style console will fit will help.

Thanks

I had the same issue with mine. I had some vynil to play with so I made my own boot. As for the insert that holds it down I made my own. Since I was hooked on fixing it for free I made one out of a wire hanger. I just carefully marked it and bent it with pliers and by hand to follow the curves. I cut slits in the boot to pass the wire through to hold it down.

 

you man are a F'ing genius, ive been looking for that stupid piece unable to find it and that's a pretty good idea how well does it hold up?

 

Here's a link that might help.

Very nice thanks, i might just have to try to make one myself and if i cant get it to fit right then i'll be consulting you, doesn't look too hard though with the proper tools and measurements.

 

What boot would you recommend using?

 

I just bought one from Farmer2....its a great piece and wont crack like the OE piece

 

Please tell me he makes one for a lt1 console?

 

The one I made is holding up great. Its not as snug to the curves as I would like but Im pretty picky and the console has some crazy bends to it. Heres a pic of it installed though. You cant se it in the pic but wherever the thread is seen I used thread that matches the car(polo green).

 

Looks sweet i can't wait to fix mine!

 

I found the piece for the shifter its a metal piece. These work well?

 

What boot would you suggest to use?

 

I have no idea where to get the right boot from. I know redline goods makes some really nice ones. Whatever you get make sure its pretty big and will have plenty of material to cover up that huge opening.

 

Anyone have any good ebay boots they bought?
