SHIFTER BOOT COVER REPLACEMENT

A "shifter boot cover" protects the shifter boot and linkage.
The shifter boot cover is made of a silicone coated fiberglass,
heat resistant material. This material provides the additional
benefits of reduced noise and heat intrusion from under the ve-
hicle into the passenger compartment.
Removal
WARNING: Exhaust system components can be ex-
tremely hot. To avoid injury, do not touch hot exhaust
system components.
1. The exhaust system passes directly under the shift control
assembly. Loosen, but do not remove, the two clamps
holding the heat shield to the exhaust pipe so that it can be
moved out of the way as necessary when performing the
following procedure.
2. Unfasten shifter boot cover snaps and pull apart velcro
strips to open cover (Figure 5-59).

3. Remove shift rods from shift control assembly.
4. Remove bezel from shift control assembly (Figure 5-60).

contacts tunnel, restricting further upward movement.
6. Cut shifter boot cover from the lip to the interlock cable
hole as shown (Figure 5-60).
7. Work shifter boot cover lip out of tunnel opening and
remove from under vehicle (Figure 5-61).
