5speed shifter boot retainer

[Skrapbob]

I am trying to fit a 5 speed shifter and boot into a automatic console. Is there a retainer bracket to keep the boot from falling to the floor?

Yes, there is, and the boots aren't the same.

Okay, I guess my search begins... Thanks for the reply

I'm not sure youll find a shifter- it seems like a very typical problem is a manual shifter falling through the floor and it's been discussed in a lot of threads here if you search it-

I don't know exactly what you're looking at in this endeavor but maybe this will help you may be able to "glue" the shifter in place with window weld- sounds crazy but it works well:

Thanks, but I have the shifter in top notch order. I am working towards a complete auto to manual transmission swap in my 92 GL.
I need to figure a plan to keep my original auto console.

i think he means the plastic rectangle that sandwiches the boot to the console. Green Sales used to have these or someone here will have one
