Default Little Help!

Little Help! I just received my new Hurst shifter today but the boot did not come. I wanted to install the shifter tomorrow. The question I have is does the console have to be remove to install the new boot when it arrives? I don't want to leave the vehicle apart because I have to take it back to my storage area.
Thanks in Advance!

I don't know for sure but I would assume so.

Yes, the console must be removed. Adding the Hurst is one of the most rewarding mods you can do.

Gary you dont have to take the car apart for the shifter boot. If you are talking about Hurst Boot to quiet down the shifter than you need to take the console off again to put it in

PM me if you need any help with the install

It is not that hard or time consuming to take the console off...
