How-to Mod your Stock Shifter!

Ok here is how I did mine, This is a easy Mod!
1st)Pop Cap On Shifter Knob & Remove Screw if you have 1!
2nd) PULL LIKE HELL!
3rd) Pull straight back on dash end of boot, so it unlaches!
4th)Slide Whole Boot & Reverse Lock out off Shifter Shaft
5th)Not needed but recomended, The Shaft on the Shifter is dull & dirty. To get it to shine Use Steel wool (FINE COURSE) or compatible with some metal polish. Will make it look really good if u take your time. (Some of the Shaft will show When you are done)

6th)Invert Boot Cut Zip Tie that Holds Boot on Reverse lock out. (Dont worry Leather wont Fall Apart,But make Sure to cut Zip Tie ONLY.) Black zip tie in pic 2

7th) Cut Reverse Lock out just under Finger Grip & Flush with the top of the Boot. You Can use a Hacksaw or Power saw. (just make sure to REMOVE BOOT before you cut. See Pic 1 for shot of finger grip!

8th) Now Take The Leather off the Old Shifter Knob By Cutting The Stich then removing the leather.

9th) Cut a piece of Leather about half the length of what you removed from Knob.

10th) Wrap Cut Leather over end of Reverse Lock out Where you cut it & Zip Tie in Place as Seen in pictures Red Zip tie. See pic 2

11th) Now Place Boot over Top of Reverse Lock out (Note boot will Be inverted as seen in Pictures) Now Zip tie in place Black zip tie in Photos. Black Zip Tie Replaces one You cut in Beginning.

12) Reinvert your Boot & & Ready for Install, Cut the hole in the top of the Leather smaller than the Shaft so that it fits tight around the Shifter shaft (NOW YOUR READY FOR ANY SHIFTER KNOB YOU WANT & YOUR REVERSE LOCK OUT STILLS WORKS & IT LOOKS LIKE A FACTORY DID IT)

I Know it sounds Hard it is Really not & the Results look like Factory & U can put wat ever you want on.


By the way the Reverse Lock Out still works By Grabbing the top of the Boot!
(SPECIAL NOTE IS... LET YOUR FRIENDS OR ANY 1 FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT IT REVERSE)
