Installing Shift Boot on 5AT

i used the momo **** with threaded collar that the boot threads on to. i got the extended boot. i wrapped it AROUND the outside of the silver plastic ring, i prefer it that way than inside.

So, the stock plastic piece that shows the gear down by the shifter, is this piece still used, and hidden by the boot, or is it left off, and the boot tucked into/glued to the plastic ring?

yep, momo shifter same as everyone, works well and tight. plastic piece showing gear stays on, simply lift the alumi-look ring, pull the boot like a showercap over it, and then push piece back into place. this pic i just took quick, looks like po%p but you get the idea, looks much better in person.

i like it....might like the ring to show though
either way..thanks for the pic...meanwhile..i noticed someone mentioned that its hard to designate how much to push down the momo shifter
he said not to push down too much (many people want the short look) because it wont allow the button to work fully
is it hard to figure out or not really

i looked at it with the ring on the outside and decided it was just more visual noise. i do think it looks cleaner but in the case of my total blackout car, less is more and the organic thing resonates with me more, it just blends more seamlessly.
but i think for your silverstone the ring would look really nice. . .
not hard to figure out, kinda intuitive

thanks to Z8m for sending the pics...this really looks great
one more question though...did you get the momo brand shift boot or just any junky one?..does the momo boot thread easily to the momo shifter?
here are the pics (thanks again)

why are you guys trying to make your automatic cars look like they are stick shift? I have an automatic, and im proud its an auto. For me, its way better (more practical, daily driver, more luxurious ride, etc). I dont get the purpose of this mod...
