My turn w/ the Short Shifter install, here is the knob I used!

how did you fasten the boot down with this new knob. I'm looking at the same one and wanted to see if your boot is secure... and how you did

EXACTLY! I took three zip ties and made a fastener just like the stock fastener with the boot ends pulled through and tightened it down to the smaller shaft diameter. Took a little patience but simple and cheap.

I used a rubber bushing about the same diameter as the shaft. Also a Redline (real) leather boot with the smaller hole made it all come together:

Yep, Same idea here with a plumbers faucet spacer along with the zip ties!

I plan on doing something different with my interior so held off on the after market boot.

I've looked and looked, but I can't find an aftermarket shift knob for the 7AT. Do any of you know where I could find one?

What color stitching is that? Does it match up with the OEM stitching?
