Default Who's replaced their shift boot and ****? (6-speed)

My shift boot has seen better days and I need a replacement. I looked into shiftstyle.com but read quite a few negative reviews about them, so they're out. Would a universal shift boot work in our cars? And what type of **** would work best as well since ours don't screw on?

I'm looking at these:

Sparco USA

I would think you could get the OEM boot from "THE CROSSFIRE SHOP", as to **** not many have the shift pattern engraved if you want that, but there are many that just lock down with a set screw.

I doubt that ; MrMopar has stated several times that all he has are SRT6's .......
( but I could be wrong )

I don't need a **** with the gate numbers on it (if I don't know which gear is where by now then something is wrong, lol). I'll check into the shop.

I replaced my shift **** back in late 07 & it is still as solid & good looking as the day I put it on. Log onto performanceproducts.com & enter shift ***** in the search. My car is your same color. I chose 26-052 Mercedes prestige shift ****. Take your time with the installation & it will give you a very solid shift feel. It installs with a bit more than just using any set screw. It's a very professional application.

Jason, check with member John Book. He went with the shift gate that a German company is selling and really likes the look.

Here's a link to what I found out about how the manual shift **** is attached and operates with the pull up for reverse, and how I made my own wood **** for the interior mods theme...Chrysler Crossfire Custom Shift **** Photos by Smfrycruzr | Photobucket

PS- some of the photos are out of sequence...
