Can anyone point me to where I can get the clip to hold the boot of the shifter on a 5 speed up? Mine sags down and you can see the metal on the shifter. I want to make it right.

Thanks.

 

It's a small mound-shaped rubber piece that slips over the shifter and rests on the shifter's shoulder.

You might consider our site's classifieds.

EDIT (again): Often when the boot is removed, the rubber piece comes off the lever and drops into the cavity below. You might take a peek. If you're fortunate, it'll jump up and say hello.

I had the console cover off and looked down in there and did'nt see it. I will check the ads. Do you or anyone have a picture of this piece and how it installs?

And how do you remove the shifter ****?

 

Sorry, no pic. Install is simple: Remove the shifter **** and boot from shift lever. Slip the donut (really mound shaped) over the shift lever and push down until it rests on the lever's should (or small lip). Reverse procedure.

Unscrew counter-clockwise

 

Pull the shift lever all the way back to 1st gear. Look at the very front of the shift **** just above the shift. You will see/feel a small slot. Use needle nosed pliers to reach in & grab the clip to pull it out.

 

The T-5 **** simply unscrews. There is no clip.

Yeah. I was thinking Auto as most people wouldn't have had to ask how to untwist something & never looked to see what tranny he had.

 

Thanks guys. That was not easy. I see where that rubber piece was and I looked all around and it is gone. I'll find one. Now to find a better looking shifter ****. Mine is like most, leather worn on top.

 

I went a found some kind of rubber washer at the local hardware store, drilled it out a bit and pushed it on. Works like a charm and holds the boot tightly up to the top

 

I used a zip tie instead of the rubber piece as I never had the ruber piece and its worked so far with no issues at keeping the boot up
