Momo Auto Shift **** Install Help

Need help guys! This shift **** is tall. What is the trick to get it down on the shift lever far enough to engage the transmission. Is there a way to adjust the boot down to allow more room?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hey Chuck

I've heard of people cutting the shaft to lower the ****, but I think there is some re-threading you have to do as well to properly attach the ****.

The boot is zip tied onto a groove, so I think the boot cover would just flop all the way down to the base of the shaft ... dag gone thing is smooth.

Hope you get someone who's done it to chime in

here's a bump for ya

Randy, It is an Auto. Momo only makes two (Chrome and Leather) and they are configured the same. When I place it on the shift lever, it is resting on the top off the shift boot(white plastic retaining collar before it is coming in contact with the pin in the shift lever that must be depressed to move the shifter through the gears.

Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck - have you looked at the Vette Essentials web site's instructions on how to replace the shifter **** and the boot?

Unfortunately, I can't help much as I have an MN6 in my car, so I have no experience with the auto. Maybe the pics of the shifter top assembly dissasembled will help. Sorry....

Thanks Randy,

As you can see in the picture, I believe the problem is the white collar under the boot. The **** is not sliding down the shift lever far enough.

Chuck - I looked at the Momo web site - is the **** the Automatico?

One source that you might check with - try sending a P.M. to Tuan Le at Litewarehouse (I know he sells Momo). Maybe he can send you an installation guide or give you a tip.

Another is to try Momo's customer service and see if they have any solutions. Maybe there's an adapter that you need so that the **** itself doesn't have to go so far down to make contact with the threads.

Beyond that - I have no other suggestions. I'm sure that someone here on the Forum has encountered something similar. Now that you have pics and your problem is really clear, maybe someone else will chime in.

Good luck - hang in there!
