Brad850 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 If I use something similar to cj's removal tool will I be able to remove the knob without breaking it?? Also if I buy a new shift boot kit what comes with it? Does it come with plastic clips on both ends? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmsgltr Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yes the boot oem has the plastic clip on it from the factory (For 850 - unsure of x70) I paid $42 for my new oem black leather bootRemember you will have to modify your existing trim to accept the now smaller shifter boot and base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks guys Remember you will have to modify your existing trim to accept the now smaller shifter boot and base Yea I know I'm going to cut off the extra plastic that holds the boot and JB weld it to my R console. It doesn't have to support too much so I think it will hold up fine. Is that what you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
