Ok,

so I'm trying to figure something out here... I recently installed a new shift boot, and when I did, the plastic ring that hold the shift boot open (at the bottom) and allows it to clip into the silver trim on the console broke. It's still in there, and it works, but it's loose and it drives me up a tree. I contacted the dealership, and the best price they can do is 52 dollars..... I'd rather melt something plastic in my house and take my chances making my own bracket. So my question was this, 1. does anyone know the part number for this product, the dealership couldn't give it to me. and 2. does anyone have on they want to get rid of for any reason .

 

I m in the same boat as you, I cant find a new one anywhere and I m about to just ghetto rig it so it holds.

 

find a wrecked one?

 

Im gonna hafta cause it's 52 bucks from the dealer.... f-in bull.

 

check ebay.. i've seen the whole shifter and everything around it on there for like 25 bux..

 

well I'm goin to the junkyard anyway to try and find a 2.4L SS bumper (HA good luck to me..) so i'll look then. how do you guys think the SS/SC fascia (front) would look with the rest of the body for the ss/na? good?bad?stand out a lot?

 

lol yeah good luck on findin the bumper.. i think it would look good with the added lip on the front.. im thinkin bout goin full ss/sc body kit on my lt.. looks really good and it keeps a factory look...

 

the silver trim, if i understand correctly is basically molded to the trim piece with the cup holder and all that stuff and is a non replaceable item so you would have to find the whole upper shifter console trim piece to replace it which is probably why they were quoting you $52

 

that must just be on the manual shift then.. i have an auto and mine comes apart so i couldnt really tell you on the man shift..

 

ya i was referring to the manual one. ya i couldn't tell ya about the auto one i could look it up but im too lazy tonight.

 

o i know that the one for the auto comes apart.. the other guy was askin bout the manual and i figured that the auto and manual on that part where bout the same.. thats why i said it would.. wish i had a manual to know.. lol

 

ya i have a manual and work at a dealership ontop of that as well. and the manual one is glued on there. pain in the ass when you want to paint it.

 

yeah i could imagine so.. would really suck to find out its glued down after you've done painted everythin else and you still have one thing thats silver and everythin else is a different color..

 

ya i haven't painted everything yet but should be pretty easy to mask everything off and paint it.
