Replace Shifter Boot 89 Vette
I need some help in fixing or replacing the shifter boot for a 89' 6-spd vette. If anyone can direct me toward a video or printed instructions I would be grateful. Not sure on how to remove the shift **** and reattach or replace the boot.

Here's a thread I did on removing the shift ****. Since I have a later C4, you'll need to find answers on removing the console.

The boot is attached to the bottom of the center console top plate with 4 screws.
You need to remove the center dash bezel to get the center console plate out.
To get the center dash bezel out you need to remove the instrument cluster bezel.

Onery laugh above....Actually sinister, loco laugh from weathered C4 owner!
It's true.
I'm also wondering about the necessity of removing the PS dash (breadbox) too? I can't remember if that pieces also overlaps the center A/C bezel.
And, of course, the A/C bezel overlaps the center console bezel (at the bottom/front -- where those two intersect.
No way around this. If you try and pull the A/C bezel out far enough, I bet you could break it.
It's an intricate web the C4 weaves!

I was intimately familiar with all this because I just put mine back together a few days ago after installing HushMat.
