I am putting in a new shift **** and boot on a 2003 Neon SXT. Can anyone explain to me how to do this and also whether i can shorten the shifter at all. maybe by cutting some of the top off?

 

Buy a short throw mopar shifter.

 

If u don't want the whole unit just buy a Hurst Neon shifter.

How are you getting another shift boot? I ordered a universal leather shift boot and it didn't work. The Neons shift boot isn't universal (which sucks). After my leather shift boot didn't work, I ordered an SRT-4 shift boot and that didn't work either. The only way I can picture u doing that if it's custom or if you change your shifter. If u change your shifter to the Mopar short throw shifter the SRT-4 boot will work.

 

i ordered a universal shift **** and boot. They are both Momo. You dont think theyll fit?

 

The Universal stuff never fits well if at all.

Look at the Hurst unit, and install booger bushings at the sametime.

 

where would i be able to find, the hurst unit?
