Hi guys!

I have researched this and was unable to find anything. Was hoping you could help please! I want to replace a leather shifter boot on my 997 with a alcantara one. I see pictures etc on changing the Shifter knob but not the boot. Any pictures or verbal help would be REALLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Just carefully pry it up with a trim tool. If it has never been removed it will be real tight.

I see how to get the boot off the console but how do you seperate it from the knob and then change it completely (to alcantara) and then re attach to the knob? Thanks!

For manual shifters -

Turn the leather boot 90 degrees (clockwise) until it stops.

Pull the knob up and off - being carefully to not hit yourself in the face (guess how I know that). Sometimes a slight twisting while pulling helps.

New one goes on the opposite - just push back into place.

new ones dont have a locking ring. How does the boot stay close to the knob? I dont see where anyone has changed the boot to another one. They just remove and replace same boot. I want to change the boot.
