Anyone know how I can hook up the boot to the bottom of the ****. It doesn't look that great with the sift rod exposed with no boot to cover it.

 

Anyone know how I can hook up the boot to the bottom of the RX8 ****. It doesn't look that great with the shift rod exposed with no boot to cover it. The stock one is much taller than the Rx8 one.

 

thats the dumbest damn thing i've ever heard of.
try the whole rx8 shifter? or is that out of the question...

 

did you need to start two threads about this? LoL jk

 

did u use the RX-8 or stock FC boot?

 

Sorry, the last thread I posted gave me an error message so I had to retype. I still have the FC boot. All i did was take out the stock **** and replace it with the rx8

 

it will lso be dumb when someone tries to shift it into 6th and it isnt there. you just here a grind.

 

its not that hard to remember its 5gears only. im the only one driving it. it just looks unfisnihed with the shift boot sitting way low now and a shift rod exposed a couple inches.

 

Thanks for not answering his question, sorry to be mean.



Anyway, you can make yourself a home made short shifter, Just cut the top inch or so of thread, and that'll make your **** an inch closer to the boot. If that's not close enough...search the forums, I think there are several manufacturers of aftermarket shifter boots, maybe they may be taller than the stock boot.

 

First of all there are 5 speed rx8 illuminated shift ***** but not available in america. There were several group buys on these before.

Anyways if you want the boot to sit flush with the **** why dont you just get a rubber spacer/donut type deal to fit on the base of the shifter shaft to raise the boost higher.
