im asking anyone who can send me pics of how to do it or some kinda instructions lol.

 

You would want to talk to "84 1le" hes the one with the brains on this project.

Tony.

 

I have a scientific brain! jk.It just depends on who you ask, but here's how i did mine.I started by cutting the slider & surrounding plastic out.The cut out is the same length as the indicator window.The width is as wide as i could go, 1/4 from edges on each side of shifter.I cut 2 pieces of hanger wire long enough the run the edges of the boot opening.Bend both to the same dimensions as the boot opening, solder or weld the ends.Stitch the bottom of the boot around one of the hanger wires.Stitch the 2nd about an inch lower.The 2nd one keeps the boot from snagging on the shifter mechanism.the 2nd wire should be cut a little longer since it requires a bend at the front(see pic).This bend is so the shifter wont push the boot out of place when in "park".
The right side of the boot is held in place by the top of the console.When the
shifter bezel is re-installed.

Heres a back view.The left side required me cutting part of the indicator housing(white).Where it butts up against the boot.This is what holds the boot inplace, along with a little silicone.The pics dont really show this though.

As it looks today

 

Hey Rick,

Dude thanks for the pictures and the instructions thats the perfect way to explain everything.

Thanks. Tony.

 

Your welcome.

 

Ok, strange question but how did you get where you cut out to look so straight. What did you use to cut it?

 

Man it's so easy yet so complicated lol
hmmm I'll try it pretty soon..
=D

 

Good question.I used a ruler & an exacto knife to mark my line (from the underside)for the edges.I made the rough cut with a dremel too, to about 1/16 from the marked line.From there i used a course file & worked down to a finer file.I finshed it with some 600 grit sandpaper.

Be careful filing on the corners.Its easy to go too far.

 

hmm its starting to look easier now that i got a better look at it(i was on my iphone at first, now on the comp).
im definitly gonna give it a try. its gonna be hard tryng to get those hangers together im gonna have to figure out another method to do this..
maybe crazyglue the boot to the underside of the shift plate and just let it hang up the shifter from there?
idk

but any who 84 1le thanx for the post.btw ur camaro looks super tough!!

 

Hell yeah his car looks super tough, im trying to go for the exact look that he has goin on there, I have painted my front lip flat black like his all I need to do is get the same tire size as him and im good to go.

Tony.

 

i would paint my camaro all black but out here in arizona darker colors get dirty so fast from the nasty dust winds..
i have to wash my nissan maxima like every 3 days in order for it to look clean..n since ive had my camaro i havent washed it lol.i dont care for that car anymore

 

I wash mine about once every couple months, but i drive it about as much.

 

I attached my boot similar to 84 1LE, except I used a staple gun and gorilla glue. Heres a pic of mine with the HURST handle. I push it down to shift.

 

I like the wy Rick did it. He cut more of the oppening so its a better and bigger cause on your mod you left it the way it came like with the slider and the boot looks like kinda over crowded and on Rick's it looks like the ones that came on the Trans Am. So I know when I start this mod im gonna go with the way that Rick did his.

Anyways umm I was at my local JK and they have a 5 speed shifter plate and my buddy there is letting it go for me for 20. He told me someone else he would sell it for 40. But it has a lil crack on one of the bold holes so i'm not sure if I should go with you guy's mods or with a 5 speed one.

Thanks. Tony.

 

im doing a boot with my megashifter also. ill have pics when its done

 

sorry it took a while, but im almost done with mine. its a b&m megashifter with a B&M ball **** and ebay boot. please let me know what you think thanks.

 

Remember.....You asked!

Please tell me the blue is a camera malfunction, or a Photoshop joke......

 

its blue. i want to put some color in my interior. i prefer an offset interior than a plain full black interior. i might go with a black boot afterwards, but i got the boot and shift **** as an xmas gift.

 

The home grown two tone almost never looks good... It's usually just too obvious that someone removed a panel and painted the entire thing a contrasting color... It always looks like the San Francisco treat. It's not my preference, but if you like it, more power to you.

 

once everythng is put back together and in sunlight ill take better pics. it looks alot better in person. besides the color, how about the 5 speed look? remember theres a megashifter under the boot not a factory shifter

 

I don't like the blue it's too much but it's ur car so props to u..try black it'll look much better

 

Except for the color, ball handle, mine is the normal T-style with the lock-out button on the side....It looks like my factory manual booted automatic shifter.

I think the blue of the console make the shifter indicator stand out too much. Maybe with a blue lens with lettering & only the letters lighting up?

 

im most likely going black boot. once im 100%done with fitment and im ready to finalize everything, then ill probably go black boot. theres not much blue in the interior. just enough to give it some color.

 

Also I think ur shift boot is waaaayyy to big

 

the megashifter isnt small.

 

Look how much it hangs over though..I think if there's no blue in ur interior u shouldn't let that be the only blue piece u carry in there..IMO it looks cheap I think a nice shiny black will set that off real nice my GTA come stock with a shift boot n I love it cus I didn't have to invent some bs lol..I was thinking about it before when I had my camaro bit I got rid of it..

 

over the front? thats because its covering the t-handle that is used to allow you to put it in gear. i didnt want to expose the handle because i wanted to make it a 5 speed look. heres a pick of it with the original megashifter setup to show what im talking about.

 

That looks way better..has a nice racing look to it..if there was blue at all n it was dark grey or black I wud say u have a clean *** interior..

 

heres with the new sterring wheel

 

Looking good I want to get the same B&M ball but my t-handle will show so I could shift into gear.

Tony.

 

my t handle is still there. i just wanted to cover it so it gave it that manual shifter look

 

I understand, have you seen my other thread with the pics?
