Who started the fad of putting boots on 5at? Does the dealer give you hard time when you take your car in for service?

Dealer hasn't given me a hard time. They never even mentioned it.

Yeah, I can just see the service technician trying to find 1st gear and grinding your transmission. Or worse yet, trying to find 1st gear and puts it in reverse instead & accelerates backwards into another car or the wall . . .

It is really easy to remove the stock 5AT ****. There is only one clip holding it on then it slides right off. Here is a good link showing how to do it:

The Momo **** will work, not sure why they told you that. When you take off the stock ****, there is just a rod that you push straight down which is exactly how the momo **** works. I have an 06 with a RAZO shift **** and it works great. As for the shift boot, I bought one at Pep Boys and cut it to fit around the aluminum ring around the shifter. Works great.

might be possible if you take off the plastic rod that sits on top of the metal one. that's what I did and it made the momo **** i have sit about an inch-inch&1/2 lower. Don't know how the razo installs tho.

I like how the Razo doesn't have the push button on the top.

I did the 5AT shift ****/boot mod as my first Z modification, and I did a poor **** job on it. i warped the trim ring, got a little too happy w/ the dremel and chopped too much plastic off of it. And I think I damaged the gear display thingie a bit (the black plastic piece w/ gear labels that sits under the ring)...

Is there a reason I can't just buy the manual version of the center console piece? (the finish plate I think it's called)


Mrpratt help me out on this, or anyone

I think this will be my next mod on my '06. Where did you get the RAZO shift ****? On the shift boot, is there a specific one at Pep Boys that you got?
