I usually do (grabbed the knob from United). I didn't see the shift boot there, but Tischer has them: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

Dan,
Sorry, I plugged the part number for just the shifter boot into your OEM site and got the entire short shift kit back. Hey, I basically built my entire car with body panels from you so I think missing out on the boot is no big deal

. Catch you next time.

Good to know!

Although I placed my orders on Sunday. You work Sundays?

Does the brake handle just slide off after you remove the boot. I looked in the DIY section but it doesn't cover the handle removal. Thanks.

There's a clip on each side of the handbrake handle. My service advisor found them after we tried using force to pull it off for like 10 minutes.

ulrichd · 08-27-2009, 04:30 PM

I've been staring at this for 20 mins., but I see no clips. Can you tell me where they are?

ulrichd · 08-27-2009, 04:49 PM

Got it off. There is a tiny hole in the side of the handle base. Push in a small screwdriver while you pull on the handle and it comes right off.

They are on the inside of the handle. You can't really see them, but just know they are on each side. You should be able to carefully wedge a flathead screwdriver and slightly lift while pulling the handle. Ideally, doing this from both sides at the same time would yield better results, but if you are careful, you should be able to unhook each side at a time.
