Shift boot on an Automatic

[jas142]

Anyone tried this? Hows it look? any pics? It seems like theres enough of a lip on the base of the shifter to slip it on.

I was wondering the same thing. Have you changed your handle to a knob yet if so what kind and what did you use for the overdrive button? With a billet trim ring and the right knob and a shift boot it would look awsome. I hope we get some info.

If you want it I have it for cheaper. Just not listed.

I don't think it would look good without a boot though... just warning.

Hey ChrisXoxide, do you have that shifter in black or anodized color for an auto? I want!!!!

 

[ChrisXoxide]

Nope.. just silver. UPR is a pretty good company though, you know they have it in black right?

Thats who I buy them from, but I only bought the silver.

 

[Mr.Moontang]

what about the overdrive button???????

I can attest to this, I just got my UPR X pipe in the mail today. VERY nice looking piece, top notch construction!

But back on topic, anyone with pics of a shifter boot on an auto?

I've got that shifter in black anodized.....looks AWESOME. Right now I've got a cheap little shift boot I got off ebay. It looks ok, it's just too small. I've got a 5 spd shift boot coming UPS. Should be here soon.

I've been looking for a leather shifter boot to test out but I can't find anything cheap enough.

what about the overdrive button and where would you hook the boot up to? ansd a question for sr97gt66, where did you get that shifter handle and how did you get it on?

 

[Islander03GT]

yeah.. where did the t-handle come from?

do both have the overdrive button and the reverse lockout button on them? I can see the overdrive button on the first one... its tiny though, but does the top of the ball push in for reverse?

thanks.

i always thought it was a cool handle, but too expensive, but its something thats in my book.

but now im liking these http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang_auto_gripper_shift_knob.html
still costs a bit much.

I got the handle and o/d button from MGW in the link trublustallion posted. The hardest part about installing it was removing the stock handle. The directions said to twist and pull up gently on the stock shift knob until it comes loose. Well mine never did really break loose so I gave it a pretty good twist and pull and it popped right off tearing the wires off with it. Luckily for me there was enough slack left in the wires that it turned out to not be a problem. Other than that installation was pretty straight foward. You can see in my second picture the o/d button is located on that black extension piece underneath the t-handle.

i have a shifter boot and a custom made shift knob that makes it look identical to a manual. I will update pictures sometime today.

 

[Islander03GT]

does your custom shift boot cover up the gear indicator? thats the only problem i see with one.

Exactly ... I was just about to ask the same thing ...

Here are a couple pics of my shifter set-up. I have the first generation Automatic handle from MGW and a leather Cobra boot. I had to move the O/D button to by the lighter but no problems, easy install and the compliments I get otn eh way it looks are amazing. Many people think I am lying when I tell them it is an auto until they don't see a clutch.

As far as not seeing the indicators, you just get used to putting it into gear by feel. Even my fiance can do it with out a problem and she only drives the car a couple times a year.

Here is another shot of it.

why are none of the pics that I attached showing up?

 

[FastRedPonyCar]

I think the black mgw knob and the black leather boot looks awesome. there are a few guys with that setup but i forgot who. Ameration, if you're one of them and posted pics, for some reason your pics don't show up.
