Anyone know if you can put a shift boot (either from the manual trans or like the one on the manual trans.) on an automatic? Please help and post pics if you got this mod already. Thanks!  |

You can, but it has to be the right size.
People do that on older tCs pretty regularly.
Eventually, I may do it myself. The issue on our boxes is the distance between the rearward/lower edge of the rectangle and the shifter shaft when in park. If I do make one, I'm going to have to custom one,

Check that sellers feedback. I don't know about anyone else, but I would not buy from them. They are very poorly rated. Just my 2 cents.

The question would be "why?" Brewski LOOKS WAY BETTER IMO! But I wanted a auto cause I'm not planning on racing anyone  but I like the LOOK of the manual. Oh, thanks for the ebay link guambomb86, and everyone else for your suggestions |

If anyone is still interested, I just put a shift boot on my automatic. Before  After  I have to come up with something to cover the white cap that is at the top of the boot. A different shift knob could cover it, but I kind of like the "T" handle. By the way, the plastic shift gate/channel trim panel has to be removed to install the boot. |

Thanks BMFJOEYG! I've been through a few nobs at this point but the T handle is working for me. I kinda like the oldschool look too!  |

Hey Tica, I bought the boot on Ebay and it came with a trim panel too. I'm using the extra thim panel to experiment with. |
