CELEBRATING 20 YEARS!

Ok so I am so sick and tired of seeing my gaping hole in the floor as I have the top plate removed from the stock console. I had a spare top plate I cut up and put a generic rubber Mr Gasket shift boot on it and it doesn't have enough movement and pulls the shifter out of gear.

So I was looking into a cloth/leather style shift boot type but wanted to see what some of you manual people are using ON A STOCK CONSOLE. I don't want to swap out the console, I enjoy the stock look of the interior.

I don't have a lot of info on the boot other than it's a generic piece from fleaBay stretched around a homemade ring. The shifter slot was altered obviously but overall it was an easy job.

Jameson, I send you a couple pics of the C5-6 upper shifter boot installed.
You should install a lower boot also, keeps out the dust, water, noise and fumes. Most use this one. Only available used now, discontinued by GM I hear.

I'm using an S10 lower boot with the Hurst boot under it the make up the difference in the size of the stick. I will probably use a lightweight leather boot on the console plate that looks like the one Clutch posted. Let us know what you go with.

I have a lower boot already. I used a MR Gasket rubber one for the floor, Ironically I was looking at a C6 upper shift boot with trim ring for a Centennial edition with red stitching to match the interior. I would love to see a couple pics of how you did your install.

Anyone else?

Factory F body shift boot in a modified 4 speed console insert. It was the one with a big flat pocket that is listed as a "cassette holder". The boot fit great, nice and tight. I glued the boot to the insert with weatherstrip glue.

A member here was selling this boot/ring combo several years back, but from what I recall he sold the last ones a long time ago. His screen name was ZZ430 IIRC...

I got some pics of a C5 vette boot installed from MMC427SS and just received a boot I bought from Ebay from a C5... I will be installing it tonight, Ill post a few pics.

You get it installed yet. Pics pics pics. I'm collecting parts for my build and yours is awesome.
