In either case, some time after Christmas I’ll have an extra boot collar to put up for sale! Need to get some other parts listed as well from the summer build.

Liking the shift weight, not sure that the extra weight makes it feel less notchy on the stock shifter, but I like the feel. 2-3 shift does feel more precise. Will have to give it time. I didn’t damage the stock knob in the swap so if I had to go back it wouldn’t be terrible. A thin and narrow flathead to front and rear of the shift knob are where the tabs are located. After you unstick the boot material from the knob, just press the flathead in those spots to push the clips and give it a little side to side pry to release the clip and then do the opposing side until it slides off. The plastic ring takes a little abuse but totally reusable if you had to get the stock knob back on clean.
I think it looks pretty nice, the OEM shifter cap is red anyway. How long did it take for you to swap it?
