Total $225 for shift **** and TMOD lower box. Just fyi. Also in case this happens to anyone else, the ring on the shift boot came loose a bit from the boot staples. Only one staple was holding it, so it sagged a bit. Made a gap. I guess from taking it on and off alot. But easy fix was heavy duty double sided tape. It holds up the shift boot to the ring very well.

oh snap, I got ya. I'll just slide that o-ring down over the ring and boot lol. Duh!! Ha ha thank you. I had no idea what the o-ring was for since the 19 has the ring stapled to the boot. The o-ring came with the new shift ****. I try it out tomorrow. The double sided tape works well though.

The chrome ring slides in the shift boot and then the o-ring goes over the shift boot on the inside. You have to turn the shift boot inside out and then roll it back over if that makes any sense. Then the o-ring holds the shift boot on to the ring.

Looks like ill have to take off console to get it done. Probably would be easier to turn inside out. I'll get to it sometime this week. If the staples held strong this wouldn't have been a problem. I started messing with the shifter since a month after I purchased the 19 Vette back in early September. Only makes sense that chrome ring came lose. I tried the factory alignment procedure at 1st and that didnt help. That's when the chrome ring began to come lose because I had to use pliers to turn that thing the 1st time. But it's all worth it. 1st gear has not given me one problem since the TMOD box. And 4th to 5th is smooth.

I put the thick o-ring over the chrome piece with boot inside out. Didnt have to take off the whole console just tilted it to the side with wires still connected. It was fairly easy. It fits well. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully the o-ring doesn't slide down. The thin o-ring I put in the channel of the **** to tighten up the fit to chrome ring. Just cuz I had the extra one. Now time to go for a cruise lol.

yeah. I could probably use the thin ring for that too. If there is too much vibration I'll do that. Makes sense. Went for a drive and felt good.
