ok soo i installed the new shift **** i bought..well half way installed.. i searched around but most threads i came across were for 6mt.. mine is a 06 5AT and that square plastic ring on the shift boot is getting in the way.. it wont let me push it down all the way and it scrunches up the boot.. is there a way to remove that plastic square ring? thinking i might have to shorten the boot a lil bit idk... i might just have to buy a new boot maybe...idk any input would be awesome.. thanks

 

just yank it out

 

Which shift ****?

 

well the shift **** is proly the problem lol... its a pilot shifter from andys.. has 3 small pinch screws that dont really stay tight..its loosens up easy.. i like it it doesnt look bad but i wish it went on a lil better.. proly just have to send it back and buy a "real" shift ****...poopy thing is i kinda missed placed the lil metal clip to lock the stocker back in place lol its either between my seats or in the driveway..im sure ill find it but def smackin my forehead lol

 

Consider you get what you pay for, any time you make a change/mod to your G make sure it's worthy and an upgrade! There's only a couple quality shift ***** for your 5AT that work well. What I'm using is a KJ Burnt Titanium **** sold by SXEXCX (Sean) on our MARKETPLACE, you can get the Niftyshifty boot from him also. Post pic of the issues you're having, answers will come easier....Gary

 

those ***** are a lil pricy, def really really nice though and proly worth the money.. ill post pix right now of where im at..

 

well b4 i was able to take the pix i figured it out and got that lil plastic ring off of the boot.. but i still feel the 3 screw pinch bolts that screw the **** to the shifter will come lose eventually..maybe i just need to go but better pinch bolt screws..or mark where those pinch bolts hit on the shifter and tap some holes soo it really bolts to it.. i want to take off that lil blue plastic extension piece but the boot bunches up and it doesnt want to go into park without a lil shove....

 

Go to your local auto parts store buy yourself Loctite blue, apply a little to those bolts that continue to come loose. Get the **** where you want it and tighten, shouldn't ever come loose again....Gary

 

thanks gary! i was thinking about that but i was thinking red..blue is good to know.. here are some pix...u can laugh at the ****..i know i did when it came in lol.. in the picture online it looked a lot smaller then it is.. im gonna mess with the boot i wanna put the **** a lil lower by taking off that blue plastic but the boot gets in the way soo im gonna have to fiddle with it.. gonna pick up some of that loctite tomorrow

 

You can cut down that plastic piece (actuator) in the center 1/2" to lower your ****, don't remove it cause you'll lose the reverse lockout and full park....Gary

 

o nice! thats proly why when i took it off it wouldnt go into park easy....ill have to look at it again and give it a cut...thanks for the info

 

wow that shifter looks like @$$. get a ball type KJ shifter and call it a day. or if your hella broke get one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-BALL-SHIFT...331075&vxp=mtr

or how about just get a M45 auto ****

 

ya i know it is poopy...it looked different in the pic..ill def be buying a new one i want that kj shifter but its pricy right now.. gotta finish some more glass and push it to the shops...then ill buy it.. but i gotta run this till i get a new one..id would just put stock back on but i lost the lil locking pin soo im stuck with this till then

 

thats called a snap ring and i think you can buy them a autozone for like 75 cents

 

So how did you remove the plastic shift boot ring? Anyone?
