65 Shift Boot Replacement
The rubber shift boot on my 65 is rotting away and I need to replace. I have a muncie 4 speed with the reverse lock out. How big a job is that? Any suggestions or instructions would be appreciated

If memory serves, you have to remove the center console.
This requires:
1) remove the shift ****
2) remove left and right radio trim panels
3) remove all center console screws
4) put gear shift in 4th gear
5) carefully remove console
On my 65, I couldn't get the center console off unless the shifter was in 4th and the **** was removed.
Once the console is off the shift boot should come off.

Only thing I might add is remove the reverse lock out t-handle.
Its a pretty easy job.

teasipper,
Yes, you must remove...can't just stretch the new boot over it. There's a metal reinforcement plate with a # of screws which the boot screws to. Your boot has holes punched to conform to this plate. Must unscrew all in order to secure the new.
Pretty straightforward.
