Just submitting my solution for a clean install for my Voodoo Magnum Pearl Shift **** without having to alter my shift boot (just in case I ever want to put it back to stock later on IF I decide to ever sell my car). My solution was very simple. I bought 1 1-1/4" black rubber grommet and cut it in half. After unscrewing the old shift ****, place a thin flat washer on top of the rough finished boot ring, get a piece of PVC tubing, 1/2" in diameter and 1/4" high and put this into the grommet. This prevents the grommet from being swished down when you screw the **** down and gives the **** something to tighten down against. This allows the base of the Voodoo Magnum Pearl **** to sit flush above the grommet. Trust me, this is the easiest way without altering the boot and it does look like it came that way. The grommet looks like an original trim piece that sits perfectly on the boot. Total cost and time: $1.29 CAN and 5 minutes. Trust me on this one, it looks better than pulling apart the console, taking out the trim ring, inverting the boot and zip tying it to the shaft and completely hiding the base of the Voodoo ****.
