How to Install a Shift Lever / Gear Shift Boot

For the Shift Lever / Gear Shift Boot to keep dirt and moisture out it has to fit tight!!!

If the shift lever / gear shift boot would slip right on it would not serve the purpose.

1. Heat the shift boot up to make it flex, either in a pan of hot water, an electric heat gun or hair dryer.
2. When the boot is flexible from the heat put some sort of  lubrication on the boot (white grease etc.) to make it slide easier onto the trans shifter mount.
3. Slide the boot down onto the lever (you may have to wiggle it on the last few inches) if it still resists sliding onto the mount take a dull screwdriver and try to work the boot around the base or reheat the boot with a hand held heater, this should make it slide the rest of the way.
