My lever shift **** cover is beat up. I found a good condition replacement from a parted-out 911. Just the leather. I also researched the procedure to remove the shift **** and cover. So I'm good there.

However, it appears the **** and cover come as one unit when sold. Can't see an easy way to separate the two so I can replace just the leather. I don't want to replace the **** because it is a special Makassar unit that ties to the rest of the interior decor.

Local P-dealer said he thinks the two pieces are glued and you need to basically cut it to remove them from each other. That would suck.

Anyone out there in 6speed-land ever tackle this one?

 

My **** and boot are definitely 2 pieces. There is a 1/4 turn twist lock that connects to two.

 

Blue Chip is correct. There's a plastic collar that rotates 1/4 turn to separate the shift **** from the boot. The collar is underneath the boot.

 

Sometimes when you turn them a few times, it no longer locks tight and people do used glue to hold them in placed, you just have to twist a little harder to get it off.
