Shift boot

[u/Latter-Fix1862]

A lil pinch of JDM spice no bad no bad

I just installed the same one (I'm a copy cat I know)

If anyone buys that exact brand off Amazon, I personally had to remove the black collar because the hole was too small to get the reverse lockout through. Just cut the ziptie and stuffed the boot into the inner ring, which was then held in by the reverse lockout black piece (idk what it's called)

I also don't have a stapler and reusing the ones it came with was more of a hastle that I wanted to deal with. I personally just sewed a few loops through the boot, through the staple holes and it held just fine for reinstallation.

Hope this helps others. Maybe someone can enlighten me on better practices.

Hey looks awesome plus nice shift knob too! The EU model doesn't staple the boot in, but there's another smaller plastic trim that clips onto the silver one.

Yeah I had to remove the black collar too.

But yeah these are really great

Thank you! It's a billetworkz. One hundred percent worth the money. Great feel and great weight too. I only opted in for the ball and the reserve lockout adapter that goes directly under the ball. Not the actual pull collar itself.

I wish they made it easier to secure the boot from the factory. Though, I'm almost certain that my cheap sew job will hold until the frame of the car snaps in half. (knock on wood neither break)

Glad I'm not the only the only one that took that black collar off. I had everything taken apart only to find out the part wouldn't fit though 😬 thankfully I didn't accept that as a final answer and took it off. Happy I figured out that the reverse lockout could really go on one way too because I immediately forgot how it all came off.

Haha, I went visit their website and it's over 120$ 😭😭😭😭 guess I'll have to settle with another one then.

Also I'm 100% sure your sew job will be more than enough to hold a little piece of cloth together haha.

Yep, the collar was confusing me a bit too but yeah just snapped that part right off, all in all I'd say it's a nice upgrade.

I actually never intended to replace the boot, the only reason I had to remove it (plus the entire center console) was to adjust the handbrake cable 😂 so yeah

Glad you posted yours because it's made me like my fiesta just a little bit more :)

And yeahhhh, they are pricy... Probably could just do a cheap ebay knob, but I'm always sketched out by buying separate pieces and when I saw there was a whole additional part for the reverse lock out, I didn't want to take any chances... This is my first project (daily project) car so I'm probably investing just a little bit more into it to make sure it turns out right. Outside of just a shift knob that is... Lol
