New Style Shifter Boot & Rocknob Installation Something different ◆◇◇◇ Easy Introduction
The new style boots are used on newer TJs. It is made of synthetic leather so it seems less affected by the temperature. Besides the problem was the accordion design that stacked itself to become thick between the stick and the console. Getting rid of it will fix the most of the shifting problem.
So, I have been surfing on the net and found someone did this mod and decided to take up on it myself. There was no write up on this but only a picture of the finished was available. There isn't much to write up but knowing some people are just intimidated just to get started, I just thought I'd present the information fpr them to judge if it is doable and for others who like to do it but don't know how.
Symptom It Fixed Hard shifting into 2nd when cold.
Tools & Parts Needed Socket and Ratchet Flat Head Screw Driver Shifter Boot (Part #: 5166489-AA) Super Glue Epoxy
Job Hours 1 hour
Procedure
1. First remove the stock shifter knob. You do this by prying out the shifter pattern round plastic piece with small flat head screw driver. Once done you will see a nut holding the actual shifter knob. Remove it and rotate the shifter knob counter clock wise to remove from the shifter.
On the right is the metal frame after the cut.
You can see the thread adapter already installed on the right. Just spin it on the stick.
If you have any questions or recommendations, please let me know!!
