So I wanted to condition the leather on the shifter boot, and while its still installed its somewhat difficult, so I figured I'd remove it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I brace the shift lever, and with the Torx ratchet fitting in the set screw, give it a little encouragement to set with a few taps from the hammer.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I wanted to condition the leather on the shifter boot, and while its still installed its somewhat difficult, so I figured I'd remove it. Look at the B&M Short Shifter Instructions. Unclip the boot; got it. Use loosen set screw. Ah ha - its not a hex; its a Torx; no problem; have those. Its not budging, and I am rounding out the inside of the set screw. F. I brace the shift lever, and with the Torx ratchet fitting in the set screw, give it a little encouragement to set with a few taps from the hammer. I then attach the ratchet, push in hard and turn, and success, the set screw relinquishes its hold in the **** fitting. Motherpussbucket; the factory used thread locker on it; no wonder. OK, so now the set screw is for the near future permanently affixed to my Torx socket; T15 BTW. I take the shifter, boot and all, up the road to my local Ace Hardware and start trying all of their metric hex head cap bolts. Success; M5X10, 80 pitch. $0.50/ea So, before you star this process, get some M5X10, 80 pitch hex head bolts.

80's movie reference. Name it, and get a gold star

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After re-install, yeah! Actually, I'm sure they use it for good reason, but I will see how this new bolts holds. The 5mm hex feels really robust; should be able to torque it down pretty good.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

More frustrated than anything, and wanted to pass along info to the rest of the group.

POST 9Original post

Mine came out no problem when I had to remove it. Tools, tools, tools.
