If you take a look at this picture it'll help you understand how it's kept on. Notice that it has two notches one on each side of the shift **** -- This is what keeps the shift boot on the ****!</font></p><p><font face="Verdana">Okay So know that you understand how this is kept on, you should theoretically be able to take of the shift **** without this DIY.
