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.

How do you remove the stock shift boot and ****? I keep reading that you have to unclip the shift boot, but I can't figure out where and how to unclip it. I gather that the **** comes off with brute force. Any tips or photos appreciated. I have a cab so I guess I could just straddle it and just hope I don't do a backflip over the rear.
TIA
The shift boot base will unclip off the console. You just have to pull it up firmly. The shift **** is held on by a set screw (5mm allen/hex if memory serves correct). Once you remove the base, lift it up all the way to expose the screw (located in the front of the shift ****). Loosen and you will be able to remove the shift ****.

SmackBoy1 - So you don't "smack" yourself in the face when trying to pull of the **** (seriously) try this technique. As twas montioned before, some shift ***** have a set screw on them, but most OEM ***** do not. The set screw will be up high on the shaft after you have lifted the leather boot up. If you don't see a set screw, then the **** just pulls off.
Be careful when you pull the shifter **** off of the shifter. It will take a lot of force, and it will come loose suddenly. You can smack yourself pretty well if this happens. I took two screwdrivers and placed on each side of the shifter shaft. The screwdrivers face in opposite directions so you can hold the handle of one screwdriver and the shaft of the other screwdriver in each hand. Sitting in the driver's seat, place your left forearm on your right knee. With your palm facing up, grab the left side of the two screwdrivers (already on each side of the shifter shaft) with your left hand and the right side of the screwdrivers with your right hand (also facing palm up). You can now use your left knee as a fulcrum and pry the **** off. It may go flying straight up, but you won't knock your teeth out.
