Momo 5AT SHift **** & Redlinegoods Ebrake Boot Installed
I finally got around to installing my Momo 5AT shift **** and my Redlinegoods leather ebrake boot today. I was going to install the shift boot too, but I couldnt get it to go in between the silver trim piece and the part of the tranny that shows the gears. I tried for an hour and finally said f*ck it. I also lowered the **** by about 1-1.5" by removing the blue thing in the shifter shaft. Anyway, here is the pick of the final product.

i like it
got my boot from redlinegoods too
you have to use a dremel to get it to fit, but be careful, because if you aren't you will mess it up and it will come loose all the time. try cutting a few of the supports inside the ring, that may give it enough flexibility for it to fit.
EDIT: what floor plates are those?

I'd really like that e-brake boot if it were somehow able to replace the factory rubber slit piece there and fit tight to the console area. Instead of squeezing through that same slit.

It ended up to be a really tough nut to crack, almost impossible without custom fabbing some sort of a bracket.

[b]We're making a special version of the boot for the automatic![b] It will have a folded and sewn top with elastic in it. Should be perfect for installing over the lower part of the shift ****.

anyone elses AT e-brake not work efficiently? ... such as when you pull it up... it only slows down the car lightly instead of locking up the rear tires?

you might be able to find it on ebay for cheaper tho. Id take a look first.
To orginal poster: looks great! i would leave the shifter boot off tho, i personally if i had an auto would like to be able to see the gate pattern. But thats MO tho.. Maybe a momo ebrake handle too! i love the ebrake handles momo sells.
