Step 1. Remove the driver's seat for ease of access. Undo the four 14mm bolts that hold the seat in place, two in the front. 2. and two in the back.
Step 2. Now remove the vertical storage box by undoing the screw on both the drivers and passenger sides.
Step 3. Open the lid and remove the top 2 screws there.
Step 4. The storage box should then pull right out.
Step 5. Remove the 5 indicated screws. There are 2 screws opposite the green circled ones on the passenger side that need removal. This is for 85/6s, later years will be a tad different.
Step 6. Remove the ashtray, and remove the 2 screws there.
Step 7. Remove the shift knob by simply unscrewing it, and then take out the center console. Lift it out from the rear of the console, and then slide the front of it over the shifter and the e-brake. Not a bad idea to take this opportunity to clean stuff up in there.
Step 8. Now remove the old shift boot. It is simply held in place by 4 tabs. Just squeeze the edge of the shift boot. There's a wire that holds the boot in place. It should flex easily enough to get past the tabs.
Step 9. Now, you need to reuse this wire in the new shift boot, so cut it out of the old boot with your favorite utility knife. Sand off the surface dust and attach this to the base of the new shift boot. You can simply staple it in. If you do this, just make sure to keep the staples as close as possible to the wire, and you will need to bend the ends to secure them in place.
Step 10. Install the new boot into the console. It should just snap in place under the tabs. Re-installation of the center console is reverse order to removing it. If you are installing the e-brake boot at the same time, don't do that just yet though.
Leather care: apply a leather conditioner with UV protection every 4-6 weeks to keep it from drying out and cracking.
