Shifter Boot HELP?!?!?!?
I recently purchased the small rubber shifter boot that goes on top of the transmission over the shifter.
My question is this, how do you get it on?
It has a small hole that will not stretch over the shifter.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you, Phessor :cool;

Not the knob, just the shaft.
This is what I have.

Ok dude i dont know how much more we can help you. Maybe if i try step by step.
1)unscrew shift knobs
2)Slide boot over
3)screw shift knobs back on.
If it doesnt go on with some force or ky jelly, then your going to have to make the hole bigger.
Its pretty self explanatory.

Dude! Chill. It's not as easy or as straight-forward as it sounds.
It shouldn't. I just did this a couple weeks ago on my transmission shifter, and will be doing it soon to my transfer case shifter.
I couldn't figure out how it would fit without tearing either.
Then I read this:
Remove the stock rubber dust-boot from the shifter assembly. It is a tight squeeze to get the boot over the largest part of the stock shifter, but a little lubricant will help. Be very careful not to tear the boot because it will also be reused.

I figured if it needed lubed to come off, it must need lubed to go back on.
I used petroleum jelly. Save the KY for better uses.

What was stated in your quote is exactly what was said previously.
Yes it may not be as easy as you would think it would be, but i think the proper solution has been stated a couple times already.
Its a shifter boot install, not a sas build.
