How do you replace the boot for the shift lever in a 1993 corvette?

Answer 1

Open the arm rest. remove the two screws at the rear of the center console panel, just below the coin slots hiding under the black felt. Remove the screw in the cup holder area. Lift up the center console by raising the rear and pulling backwards slightly to get the tabs out to the front center console. Disconnect the wires to the hatch release and the cigarette lighter. Remove the gear shift knob by prying up the shift pattern cap with a small screwdriver and then pull the T shape metal part straight up with a pair of vice grips. If the T does not move use a large screwdriver to lever against the vice grips to pull the T up. Once the T is out, unscrew the shift knob then lift the center console off and set out of the way. The leather shift boot attached to the console can be removed with 4 screws. The rubber shift boot is visible now over the shifter to replace.
