Anyone put in an Rx8 **** in their FC? The boot is too short

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.

How to get an RX8 **** to look right in the FC?

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.

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

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.
