haha nice im glad i made it! Ill prob end up getting what you got just gotta wait for a few more checks to come in! haha did you have to lift up the console at all to put the boot on or did it just slide on?

 

Mine will be here tomorrow! Probably won't get to it til saturday, but did you take the console out and secure the boot or just shove it down there?

 

Does that Momo boot just kinda rest in there or is it actually attached? My universla one just kinda hangs out in there and has never moved..

 

I wanted blue and they aren't like pep boy seat covers they're the custom fit ones.

Lol it's starting to **** me off I hate universal shift knobs! Never stays on securely! I want a threaded one. <_<

Looks good!

I took it off then put the boot on then put the console back I guess kinda like shoving down but there's no need to secure it it says where it should.

see my answer above

 

Yeah, that's exactly how mine is in there..

I know, I hate universal knobs too.. I've tried several, all to no avail.. Something always ends up getting messed up.. Or it just doesn't stay on..

 

Anyone know where I can find threaded shift knobs?

 

i know the b&m knobs are threaded or at least the one that came with my short throw is. probably not what you want but i thought id let you know. i'd imagine they sell the knob alone.

 

you have the eBay short throw right?
I have the same one and i have been trying to fond out what the size and thread pitch Is for a long time now
I think it might be 12x1.75
Not sure on that though

 

yeah. damn if u find out for sure let me know

 

it comes with velcro to attach it. i flipped the bottom of the boot, and put the velcro on the console so it is attached. i did take the console out. the part under the e brake comes out just by pulling up on it, and the cupholders right behind it come out speperate, but you just pull them up too. the peice under the e brake comes off first then the cupholder can come off, but you can probably get away with leaving the cupholders in.

 

But if you have an armrest like me that's not really possible to do. But it's not really necessary anyway.

 

I'll get some more and better pics tonight, and post them up. Boot looks good, looks like it has been there all along.

 

Subscribed for a cool little mod.

 

I'm selling 2 boots in classified if anyone's interested.

 

As long as you're not pulling up on the boot it's self, it'll stay in the console as-is..

 

if you get the momo one you might as well just use the velcro that comes with it. i just did it so if i drop something on the boot it wont fall down in the console.

 

I think I have read that the momo brake handle and the momo boot clip together? Is this true? And cody which handle is that steel or alum? I have an ss/tc with same interior and wanted to do this as well, just trying to figure out if I want to spend 130 on it.

yes the boot and the handle clip together. there is a peice of plasitc that fits tight inside the boot and attaches to the handle. i have the aluminum. its a little more glossy than the shift knob, but other than that it matches perfect.

 

On a slightly related note, anyone on here have a Momo steering wheel in their Cobalt? I drove a Civic with one yesterday and really liked the feel.. I thought you couldn't install one in an airbag steering wheel car though..??

 

you cant legally, but you can do it. im not sure i would want to take my air bag out. i acctually like the look and feel of the stock leather wrapped ss/tc wheel. i dont know if its different than the older ss's.

you will also lose your cruise control and radio buttons if you have them.

 

I already lost my radio buttons with the Alpine.. lol

But yeah, you'd probably have to know the inspection place to do it right..

But yes, you have the 3 spoke.. The older s/c's had the 4's, the newer ones had the 3's also..

 

Finally got to install mine, looks 1000X better than the stock one, glad I spent the 130 bucks for it

 

I need to do this ASAP. If I wasn't saving for coilovers I would by this right now.
