I need help. I tried to install this today and failed. Getting the old shift knob and boot was hard, but I got it done without any damage. I can't say the same for the new pieces. I've managed to crack the knob and tear the boot.
The knob wouldn't snug down over the shaft. So I tried to tap it down with a hammer and padding but still put a big crack on the top. Re-reading the comments above, maybe a metal file would have helped.
After I got the knob settled, or so I thought, I couldn't get the boot to pull up and attach to the knob. I managed to make two rips in the boot while trying.
I've contacted the seller hoping to get replacement parts without having to pay full price, we'll see if they take pity on me.
So, can anyone give me step-by-step instructions? Any other tips if I'm able to try again with new parts?
