no it's not... all you have to do is take the center console off. yea, i guess it IS a PITA. but then again, you only do it once.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by spite:
The boot is held to the silver thing via a zip-tie - if you cut that tie, it's a PITA to get another one on.

Huh? To take the knob off all you need to do is seperate the sliver trim piece from the knob and twist the knob off. As Spite said the silver trim piece is attached to the boot by a zip tie that can be cut off. Removing the center console with the boot still attached to the knob would be a PITA. It's much easier to speperate the boot from the knob, remove the knob and then take out the center console.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by imagepree:

If you flip the boot inside out you will see a zip tie that holds the silver clip (the thing that the stock knob clips into) to the boot. If you cut the zip tie you can then use zip ties to attach the boot to the shift lever (without the silver piece). This will keep the boot in place while you are driving. Or you could buy a momo boot that screws onto the knob.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by jkoc:
i did what vtecrespect said, and it worked easily. there were no zipties or anything so i dunno what you guys are talking about.
