Hey, guys. Today, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Ford leather shift boot, and it's going to fit '05 to '09 GT and V6 Mustangs. It's not going to fit the GT 500. This is a full-leather shift boot that's black with black stitching. This is a great option for you if you're looking to replace an old or worn-out shift boot, or if you're just looking for a nice leather shift boot upgrade. It costs about $55, and it's very easy to install. You won't need any tools. I'll call it a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and I'll show you how to get it on your car now. All right, guys, so your factory shift boot is held in with this plastic trim around it, and it's literally only going to be a couple clips. So, we're going to go ahead, and we are actually going to pop this up first. I'm going to get my finger under one of the corners here and just pop up, and the whole shift boot will pop up. From there, I'm going to go ahead and unthread my stock shift knob, and it'll all come off as one piece. Okay, so your stock shift knob is just over the boot, so I'm going to go ahead, I'm going to pull down on one of the corners. You guys can see, there's a spot in the stock shift knob for your shift boot to sit in. We're just going to pull the shift boot off of that. All right, guys, so now we have the Ford replacement shift boot, and there are a ton of shift boot options on the website. This is definitely one of the more subtle ones. You guys can see, you have the full-grain black leather here with the black stitching, and this is wrapped around a new plastic trim piece for you, so you don't have to worry about any of that. This literally just completely replaces your old shift boot. So, in order to get this on, we're going to take our stock shift knob and we are going to work the new shift boot into this crease here in the shift knob. So, I'm just going to work one side in, and just try to get it over and into its home. The new shift boot is, of course, going to be a little stiff. All right, from here, we are going to thread our shift knob back onto our shifter. Obviously, your shift knob needs to be tight but facing the correct direction. So, at this point, all we have to do is line the shift boot up in the center console, and then clip it into place. All right, guys, that's going to wrap up this review and install.
