I have a new ****
Not that there was anything wrong with the old one....but this looks better
Old
New - Black Boss shift **** and boot
A word of caution to anyone thinking of this simple mod - you must buy a new boot to match the Boss shifter.
Installation is easy
Remove console - it just lifts out.
Release all elctrical connectors - they are shape and colour coded.
Its necessary to completely lift the console clear to get at the shift boot clips under the chrome trim surround.
The clips are pretty tight but work from one end to the other and they surrender.
Clip on new boot
replace console and screw on new shift ****. 30 mins tops.

Looks good. I did mine about two weeks ago but the **** doesn't fit correctly. When tightened all the way it goes about 135 degrees PAST where it should to line up with the gates. If i loosen it a little to point where it lines up then when i shift the **** turns which is really annoying. Just got some loctite for it, hopeully that will cure this problem. Annoying tho...but looks better

Love that look, went that way myself when the aluminum one was backordered. Now, I am really happy I did, has more of a retro look and doesn't get as hot either!
