Description
Every manual transmission swap or restoration needs proper shifter boot retention to seal the floor opening and deliver a finished interior appearance. This two-piece retaining ring set provides the factory-correct mounting system for 1968-1972 Chevelle applications that did not come equipped with a center console—the essential hardware that secures your shifter boot to the floor pan and keeps debris, moisture, and road noise out of the cabin.
The die-stamped steel construction replicates the original GM design, ensuring proper fit against your Chevelle's floor pan contours. The two-piece system sandwiches the boot material between the upper and lower rings, creating a tight seal around your shift lever. This design works with 3-speed and 4-speed manual transmission shifter installations where the factory console was not present.
Whether you're completing a concours restoration or finishing a modern TREMEC swap, these retaining rings provide the clean, secure boot installation that separates professional work from a hack job. Pair with the matching MD-321-2095 rubber shifter boot (sold separately) for flat shift levers to complete your floor shift installation.
