Default Re: shifter **** and boot

4 questions.

1. Will an SLK leather **** work? (before I spend $100 for it) ?

2. does the shift boot simply pull up and out?

3. I've read it's either threaded of there's collar to remove - think I'm good there once I can access under to boot.

4. Any helpful tips?

thank you all
The **** has a nut on the back side of it hidden under the boot, it is just unscrewed and you pull the **** of the shift lever.
You gently pry the boot of by getting under its frame as shown in the photo.
