If it seems stuck, I've seen where people have secured it under the cover plate.
Just remove the cover plate, shift knob and pull it up and off the lever. |
Re: Gear shift boot removal It should just slide up the shifter lever. You obviously need to unscrew the shift knob to get it off the shifter. Someone may have installed a hotrod large dress up ring around it that could be screwed to the floorboard? That would have to be removed.

Re: Gear shift boot removal If the floormat is installed and the boot is sticking up through it, I can see how it would not be immediately evident how to remove it.

Re: Gear shift boot removal Probably hard Argentinian rubber from the 1950s, now affixed to the chrome plating/rust/whatever.
Use a utility knife and "whittle" it off. I recently took possession of a Model A engine and some miscellaneous parts which are probably "left overs" of a Model A restoration of the 1960s. The engine looks like a "keepah" - rusty bore (he didn't put the head back on) but not much ring-ridge. I speculate in my mind this may be a "1st tightening" engine which may have all the original shims? It would be nice. Other parts included a steering column anti-rattler - in the original plastic wrapper - label typewritten using a typewriter. Rick Freeman and his "How to Restore the Model A" books came to mind. Bend the wrapper and and anti-rattle rubber inside cracks in two. That one for trash. Joe K |
