I have changed today the shift **** ..



but the old boot i can not change why i cannot remove the old boot.. i must take off the central console (plstic think) .. how can i do ? i have take of the two screws but will not go down..

The bottom plate of the console is held in with clips. Just pull up at the back end of near the coin holder lower left corner of the picture in your post.

Good luck

i have tryed byt will not come off.. i have also with much strong but nothing.. uhm ?

 

meibe some trick ? plz help me =)

 

PULL HARDER. The two screws that you show in your picture have already been loosened, and those are the only ones that you need to worry about. There are metal clips on the underside near the ashtray that hold this plastic piece in place.

Try grasping at the trailing edge of the gearshift boot where you can get your hand under the plastic piece, and pull upward - straight up. It should come up then, and open like a hood, hinged at the front. From there, you can remove the boot and secure the new boot to the underside. HTH,

 

i go try =) ihih 10 minuts and i am back thanks a lot.. !!!! =)

 

Yeah, take out the two screws, and then pull up on the back end of the plastic piece... it's just held in with clips, and once you pull the back end up, it should come out no problem. I think I need new clips in my '79, 'cause mine comes out no problem whatsoever, I just grab the coin slots and pull up lightly.

 

THANKS ALL FRIENDS... ihih i have changed all the BOOT .. nowwww looks niceeeeeeee thanks a lot!!! the clips are RUSTYYYY thise way.. i have see it and go with a blade.. so they come done.. very very thanks without you all i maibe go crack the central console... now its all perfect i have changed the original boot with thise nicer =) maibe..
