Description
Factory vinyl shift boots on fourth-generation F-bodies become brittle over time, cracking and fading under UV exposure and heat cycling. Beyond the visual eyesore, a deteriorated boot allows dirt, debris, and road noise into the transmission tunnel. This reproduction upper shift boot solves that problem with genuine leather construction that outlasts the original vinyl while delivering a more premium interior appearance.
The black leather material offers superior longevity compared to factory vinyl and features a refined matte finish that eliminates the cheap, shiny look of the OEM piece. Unlike vinyl that stiffens and cracks, leather maintains its flexibility and properly drapes around the shifter. The material hangs correctly and does not slide down the shift lever away from the knob--a common complaint with worn factory boots during spirited driving.
Installation is straightforward using the included plastic mounting ring, which secures the boot to the center console exactly like the factory setup. This is a direct-fit replacement for all 1997-2002 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models equipped with either 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmissions. No modifications or trimming required.
