Shift boot questions
Will a leather shift boot from an 86 fit an 83 properly. I chekced the parts site, but could not confirm based upon what I saw.
Thanks Adam |

I would think that it does fit. the leather shift boot goes over the rubber one on my '85. be careful taking off the shift knob - they are very expensive to replace...

Steve -
It just goes right on top of the rubber one ?!?!?! So that the leather and rubber are both coming through the hole in the console? Adam - bummer about Hersehy - I went last year (took my girfriend and so got not G & A) its a good trip. how does the red come into play? Adam |

Adam-
yep, as far as I can tell. I've felt the rubber one underneath the leather, though I've never actually disassembled the shift boot cover. I think the rubber is the functional piece and the leather is the 'style' piece.

On the shift boot thing, my concern would be that I still get the 4th to 5th shift f***d up sometimes and I like to lift the boot so I can check the gate, am I a moroon or what?! Guess I'm just paranoid....I should probably just remove the boot entirely...
My friends have been calling me "Red" for as long as I can remember so I always try that as my screen name for websites first, usually doesn't work....My hair (or what's left of it) used to be red.... Adam

Can't help you there. I do know that I cannot lift the leather boot up unless I unscrew the console and lift.
