Default Made my own automatic shift boot, what do you think?

I worked at a Chevy dealership and got things at a discount and noticed one day that a Grand am shift boot might fit perfect in a T/A. What do you know ...it did. What do you think?

I'm thinking of getting a '95 Camaro shift *** to make it look just like a Vette. What you guys think? That, or leave it as it is?

I say leave it as-is. Alot of people like that t/a shifter. But then again its all about what fits better for you.

Looks like a *******. Not BAD, but there is too much slack for my taste.

Been there - done that!

Here's the link to my install thread to both shorten the shifter and install the Grand Am shift boot on an A4 T/A.

And I like it on my car despite what ne1 else feels...

LOL, but you might want to get the old scrot checked out if it looks like that, all gray and all.
