#1 The hole in the top of my shifter boot will never fit over the 2 horizontal levers on the gear shift shaft. How to install please.

#2 Does anyone have a part number for the chrome (?) surround that goes over the rubber boot to hold it down. Mine is @ 4 3/4" but the rubber boot base is over 5 1/4" Do I have the wrong parts?
 
Is the 4S shifter OEM (F/4/S) or HURST?

Is the 2nd lever reverse lockout?

Can you post a photo?
 
Get the rubber quite warm, use a little soapy water, place one of the levers through the hole. Make sure the levers are in the up position, slide opening over the threaded end then stretch it over the remaining lever.
 
I tries a similar suggestion once before by leaving the rubber in the sun to gwt warm.
No luck. But I will try it again. Maybe microwave first ;)
 
The T shape shifters were on 64 to 67 cars, in 68 they went to a full round that you pull up. I have gotten original boots on with just warming them and a little silicon lube. The repro's I have not had good luck on, they seem to tear trying to stretch them that far.
 
I guess mine is an earlier version as it has a knob - not a T handle.
This powertrain is installed in a 1969 Italia Intermeccanica so it could be
from an earlier Mustang.
Thanks all. I will keep trying.
 
OK ... Let me try this a 4th time ... :mad:

You have the reverse lockout feature as shown attached? That is 1968/ .

OP says horizontal reverse levers.

I am still trying to figure out what he has. You ask a question and he never gets back.
 
Or, I could be getting it confused with the AT shifter post.

Been getting a little foggy as of late ... :o
