i was just wondering if anyone has some very detailed directions on how to change the boot on a 1986 rx7...
also directions on changing the shifting ****..
thanks for the help.

 

ok its actually pretty simple, the plastic shroud that surrounds your boot, grab that and give it some working around the edges, it will take a little bit of tugging to get it off, to take off the shift ****, just give it a hard turn, and it will break free, then you can loosen the bottom "nut" that holds it in place. then just unscrew the **** and its done.

Shift **** should screw off with a little elbow grease. You could try a rubber oil filter wrench.

As for the shift boot, there's 4 snaps under the plastic surround around the boot. Pry up carefully and it slides right off (as long as you have the **** off). Underneath there are some screws and some locking washers that only go one way onto plastic *****. You can take those off without breaking the ***** if you take your time and bend one of the prongs out of the way before you pull off.

I'm decent at design and sewing and I made my own shift boot and E-brake boot. (sorry no patterns) at it turned out pretty nice. I can get a picture of it tomorrow.

 

just twisting the **** and it will come?
cause i was trying that with decent force and got nothing but didnt want to crank to hard and **** something up

 

Is it the stock ****?

 

Change the boot...

Flip baby over on it's back.
Take off old diaper
Wipe
Put new diaper on

Run away because your now a dad!! AHHH!!!

 

The fitting just below the shift **** is a "jam" nut. Use a 22mm wrench to turn it clockwise. As soon as you break the jam nut free, the shift **** will easily turn off counter clockwise.
