I just did the same swap last night, and i love it. About a month ago, i had trouble shifting so i tore the console down and discovered the tower boot from the tower to the stick was totally gone/rotted away and had water in my shifter/tranny, after i had accidentally drove through a snow drift. I looked all over the web and even went to our local dealer and that boot was unavailable without buying the whole assembly. I found this kit and for 200 bucks it was totally worth it and looks great!

 

Just curious: Is there any use for the old shifter? I was just going to chuck it in the trash, unless there is a high demand for these..

 

Glad it worked for you guys and you're now enjoying the benefits of the shifter! I have had my original Hurst for about 4-5 years and have loved it, best mod I have done by far.
