Anyone have instuctions on the best way to install the
STi Shifter Trim with the MOMO Shift boot? There were
directions on here before but I cannot seem to find them
now. I have everything apart and well, I'm jumping the
gun doing this myself. Any insight would be great!

The thing causing the most problem is actually the
MOMO Shift Boot which has ELASTIC on the bottom.
Should this actually be cut off??

Here are some pictures of what I'm dealing with.

I already had that link, thanks anyway, the problem with that install pic is that I'm installing the STi-Trim plus the MOMO shift boot. The boot itself has an elastic bottom to it plus the piece that holds the boot in won't fit correctly because of the elastic (making it so the bolts aren't long enough), so what I did so far was sand down the plastic piece that holds in the boot and now
I'm just wondering if I should cut the elastic off of the boot
to make an easier install?

any help would be appreaciated!

thanks

Here is the final stages of the install:










Looks pretty good I think. Nice with the Short-Throw
Shifter.

 

<...Looks nice. Was there anyway to cut the boot some more to bring the boot down some more?...>

Yes, if you take a look at the picture of the boot on the bottom
side you can see that there is definately more room to work
with so you can bring the boot down alot more. I didn't think
there was going to be much leather left over so I played it
safe. I think I'll leave it that way though, i kind of like it and
really don't feel like unbolting it again, hehe.


<...And one last thing - is there any way to keep that momo metal collar that goes on the bottom of the ****
with this boot?...>

Not really, the reason for this is because inside the boot is
a threaded piece of plastic in which the **** screws right
into the boot (right where the collar is supposed to screw
into). I tried it with and without and with the collar looked
ugly because you see the shifter inbetween the boot and the collar and if the boot ever sinks lower you see the shaft even more. I've yet to see anyone keep the collar on any of the
pics I've seen. Good luck, maybe they make a boot special
for that ****, I actually thought the boot was specifically
for that **** but obviously not.

Good luck!

I have a brand new, still in the box shift ****, the same exact
one pictured. If anyone wants it, I'll sell it to ya! It was never installed, the company my girl ordered it from sent 2 because
my girl accidently ordered 2.

Any takers, let me know.

It comes with the tools and everything to install it.
I'll sell it for $75 including shipping to USA.
I accept paypal too.

 

I have the same exact setup - same **** and trim piece, but kept the stock boot. I kept the Momo collar on the **** by using a part I found laying around the garage. It's a metal collar with a set screw that I installed on the shaft of the shifter, and it holds the boot up. I think the part is actually a "stop" that is used on a drill bit to control the depth when drilling. It fits perfectly, and it's adjustable. Try Sears tool department...
