Just finished the manual conversion on my TF, and want to know if i can attache the retainer (or surround) from the manual gear shifter straight to my console piece- or do i need to replace the console piece itself??

What are my options??

I'm not sure if you need a new console, I wouldn't think that you did..

however I have a gear boot in black leather that you can buy off me when I get my black leather and red stitching one :)

what does? the manual gear boot for an auto console? no such thing dude :nuts: i suggest getting some really strong glue and just gluing it as sugested, or you could get crafty and cut out a rectangle out of plastic to suit the shape and then screw that into the console to make it removable

The console has little lugs whre you can screw the boot in from the underside.

Even the Verada woodgrain has these lugs, even though there was never a boot made for them.

I didnt make a good first impression man, the one time he has come to my place it was 4:30 in the afternoon and I was spewing in the back yard cos Id been drinking all day. First impressions last, so I believe this offer may fall through.. :)
