Wow, I paid just $200 on CL for the shifter and brake combined, both removed early in the car's life in like new condition. I don't even need the brake.
Giving this thread from Ernie a bump. Took less than ten minutes including detailing to remove my old worn shifter and install this new one. Not only was the shifter worn on the outside, the rubber on the inside was breaking down and loose. The new shifter not only looks better, it also feels less vague when shifting gears. This is really an easy upgrade for your 993.
And Ernie, I hope you're enjoying those cashmere seats! All the best, Jim
Use your bare hands to push down on the driver side about 1" from the corners and the boot will push right down past the tension clips.
Pull the old shifter off being careful not to punch yourself in the head. Note the wear line on the shifter and make sure the new shifter extends all the way down to that line
Drop the glove back in one corner at a time like a window screen, press right side up into the groove and then gently pull the left side of the boot up until it secures against the fasteners. Too easy.
Hi Jim,
Just gave those new seats a 2500 mile break-in run from Chicago to Dallas. They are much nicer than my old seats. However, I do miss the 8-way electrics on my old seats. On the positive side, I don't have to deal with faulty seat switches!
Reviving an old thread for a good reason I am Removing existing and replacing. I have gotten the old boot cover out and flipped it over know. My question is re the fasteners. The fasteners on the passenger side (R, US) and driver's side (L, US) look different with passenger's side maybe being a bit pointy and sharp? How do I avoid damaging the boot cover when putting new one in? Thanks! I read the string above, but would appreciate any further insight.

IIRC you insert the passenger side into the recess (4th pic in post before yours) then pull up on the leather inside the metal oval ring to pop it into the drivers side clips.
