1987-93 Ford Mustang Simulated Leather Upper Shift Boot - Fox Body by 5.0 Resto

AS ONE ALREADY STATED GREAT QUALITY BUT WHEN INSTALLED WITH A FACTORY STOCK SHIFT LEVER AND KNOB THE BOOT IS NOT TALL ENOUGH. WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO 1ST, 3RD, AND 5TH GEAR THE BOOT STRETCHES TO ITS LIMITS AND ENDS UP PULLING UP THE BEZEL. i PUT A SHORT STEEDA SHIFT LEVER IN AND IT WAS FINE AFTER THAT BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS IF I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE CASE.

Looks great, unfortunately does not fit the stock length shifter. I have ordered a shorter shifter and expect it to fit when that is installed. Was told the vinyl one would have fit my stock shifter. The website should state that this is for a shorter length aftermarket shifter.

When I took the shifter boot out of the package the base of it where the leather is glued to the metal ring was detached.. Only one corner of the boot was still glued on. So I bought some very small electrical tie wraps from the local auto parts and using the small holes that were pre-existing in the metal base I secured the leather boot to the base ring. After installing the boot I had the same problem others have stated the boot was too short. Since I wasn't really happy with my current shifter anyway I ordered the new sve shifter from LMR with the extra drilled height option, any finally problem solved. The boot does look great and I am happy with the final result. But be aware of the shortness of this boot.

As others have stated this boot is too short for stock shifters. I ended up buying a short throw shifter mainly because I hated my stock shifter and it fits the short throw just fine. However, as soon as I took this boot out of the package it was already coming unglued from the plastic frame it is on. So I glued it back together with Formica adhesive which worked great. It looks great and now it fits like a glove but only after I spent another $80 to do so.

I purchased this recently after letting my 88 gt sit for years it installed easily and looked great this was just the first of many more purchases to come with lrs to get my stang back in shape.Thanks LRS.
