Looks a bit large and unbalanced on the shaft. Bit too gaudy imo.

Their website says:

"We have designed a shift boot to fit inside the console trim plate or your automatic xB with no modifications."

So I would think so.

Why? You are the owner and only you have to like it. Do you or don't you? If you're uncomfortable with it, try something else!

Took all of about 5 minutes and no cutting. You do not remove or modify anything to get the boot to fit. It does come with directions.

Picked it up at Cabe Toyota in Long Beach, California for $85 but I have seen them on ebay for $99.50 plus 16.50 s & h, the manual versions are cheaper. Cabes parts website is cabeperformance.com the manual one is listed on their site, so I asked them about the manual version and they had it in stock. The part is a japanese TRD part and it fit perfectly.

Trd shift kit, ss shifter bushings, a blox 490g spherical shifter and a 2.99 eBay shift boot. Shifting is phenomenal, it firmly "clunks" into each gear, absolutely love it.

Also, I eliminated the clutch pedal "helper" and ran an ss line to replace it.

I've seen some pretty cool ones. My favorite one is done with the mushroom guy from Mario bros. It looked so good because the "mushroom" was perfect as a ****.
