1. Buy or make a new shifter boot. I bought mine here: http://www.newbeetle.org/forums/show...new+shift+boot

2. Pull up on the boot so you can see the underside of the shift knob

3. There is a metal ring holding the knob onto the shaft-thingy; somehow either bend this ring or cut it or something... just to get it loose enough to slide the knob off of the shaft (god, this sounds gay)

4. Next you have to pull off the black clamp-like thing that holds the boot onto the knob; to do this just hold the knob with one hand and pull down on the boot with the other hand; it should pull the clamp off

5. Now you can pull off the stock boot

6. The bottom of the stock boot is stapled to a square plastic ring that holds it to the center console - Just undo those staples and now you're free from your old, crappy boot

7. Slip the top of the new boot onto the knob and put the black clamp back on the knob to hold the boot in place

8. Attach the bottom of the boot to the square plastic ring (for this I used a hot glue gun; worked great)

9. Stick the knob (with new boot) back onto the shaft and use a pull-tie to replace the metal ring you took off earlier

10. Place the bottom of the boot back into the center console

How do you replace the boot for the shift lever?

Four little clips slide under the edges to hold it in place. You can upgrade to a new style shift handle that comes with the boot for about $70 and it looks much better. You have to take the handle off anyway and it's attached to the handle in one piece. We have pics and a "how to" at www.trailvoy.com

turn the handle counter clockwise and remove the leather boot, screw on a new one. if using an oem shift knob the boot probably will not snap back on, and you'll need some kind of adapter to match the threads, usually a plastic insert secured by a hex screw. turn the handle counter clockwise and remove the leather boot, screw on a new one. if using an oem shift knob the boot probably will not snap back on, and you'll need some kind of adapter to match the threads, usually a plastic insert secured by a hex screw
