[Mgs] Stick shift boot

[Barney Gaylord]

Yup,

Loosen jam nut, remove shift knob and jam nut
Lift off old boot, remove trim ring.
Install trim ring on new boot, and install new boot
Reinstall lock nut and shift knob.
Orient the shift knob as preferred, and tighten the jam nut.

Bottom flange of the rubber boot should engage the hole in the tunnel.
Carpet should be cover the bottom of the rubber boot.
Only the convolutions of the rubber boot should be showing above the carpet.

This means you need to lift the center carpet section to install the 
rubber boot underneath, then put the carper back on top.  Front edge 
of the center carpet should be tucked under rear edge of the front 
carpet.  Rear edge of the center carpet sits on top of the rear carpet.

Bottom edges of the center carpet may sit flush with the floor, or if 
longer then they get tucked under the floor carpet.  Mine are longer, 
tucked under the floor carpet, and I staple the center carpet flanges 
to the floor boards to be secure.
