I'm in the middle of installing the shifter! Need some help.. It says NOT to install the rubber boot that was attached to the factory shifter!? If I leave it out won't dirt & $hit get into the shifter/transmission?
I got 4 jack stands but I've NEVER used them before and don't want to kill myself or hurt the car!
BTW: What do the bolts need to be torqued to? ANY other tips would be great too!!!!
