What are you using? Have you picked a shifter handle and boot yet?

What do you need help doing?

I did mine and I think it looks great, if you give me a day or two I may be able to take some pics and put together a guide for you.

a standard boot can fit an auto... you just have to be a tiny bit creative, i did mine with no cutting...

I just went to the junkyard and got the plate with a stock boot on it for like $5. Just popped it on and I was finished.

its not hard at all

1. on the side of the shift knob facing the dash, there is a little C clip, pop it out using a flat head screwdriver... do not lose it!

2. pop off the plastic surrounding the shift

3. you can either put a boot on and pop the plastic back over the boot or get a dremel and cut a square out and put the boot in that way

Search.

Go to the junk yard. Find a same gen J with a manual. Yank the piece out. Insert into your car.

why the hell would you want to do that? Why didnt you just buy the car with a manual, doin that to your car is like a lesbo putting a strap-on, she just is no match for the real sausage.

what's even funnier is tools like this are too dumb to even realise allot of automatics on the market come with boots on them, its just a cover for the stick dork. no one is trying to pretend they have a manual.

^exactly Jason. It is just a cover to hide the huge ugly stick. It isn't a way to pretend I have a manual.

Hey Big Poppa, you did all that work to your car (from the looks of the pic), and it is an automatic? Your interior looks badass though
