Shift **** issue
I just got a round shift **** today and installed it, the only issue is the shift boot wont stay up around the bold i installed at the base of the shift **** so you can still see the shift shaft arm is there anyway to make it to where the top of the boot stays up close to the bottom of the shift ****?

You can also stack washers (if you can find some with an inner hole big enough; I used rubber washers I bought at the plumbing section of Home Depot) or wrap tape around the upper part of the shift lever so the shift boot ring doesn't slide down all the way.

I just cut a small piece of cardboard and wrapped it around the shaft underneath the boot, zip tied it, and when I put the shifter trim back on, it held up the boot from falling. I then used a rubber shank from Home Depot as a finisher. Although I did try polishing the shank since it is originally a very dull rubber

To really pack it out I got some of the material that looks like insulating material and added it to the material that was already there, doubling it up and then used a zip tie. the extra material packs out the boot and the tie holds it in position. Simples.
