Default C6 shift **** - Need boot

Just installed a C6 shift **** on my B&M and it looks great. Only problem is the stock C5 shift boot doesn't fit with it. I had to cut it a little to get it to fit.

I don't think a c6 shift boot will work in a C5. Anyone know for sure?

Also, those that have done this, what did you do?

Thanks!

Fliip it inside out, trim enough to get the base through, ZipTie it to the base, pull it back through

Peace

Can you get the boot out without taking the console off?

Thanks for the quick reply!

That worked for me.........only I used small gauged stainless wire. I was able to twist it tighter than a zip tie. Works great
