Boot

The first step to replace a Tremec 6-Speed shift control closeout boot involves removing the shift control knob/boot assembly as well as the console-based sound insulator foam block. Beginning the procedure requires moving the electrical connector out of the path while you disconnect it from the shift control adaptor plate. The procedure begins with unscrewing the 2 bolts which hold the shift control assembly to the shift control adaptor plate and continuing with removing 4 nuts that secure the shift control adaptor plate to the tunnel reinforcement. Extract the combination of shift control boot and adaptor plate assembly from the current vehicle. Reinstall the shift control boot alongside adaptor plate assembly inside the vehicle before securing the 4 nuts to the tunnel reinforcement by torquing them to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.). Lift the shift control lever to touch the shift control adaptor plate before installing the 2 bolts that will hold the assembly to the plate by tightening them to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). The electrical connector must be connected to the shift control adaptor plate before putting back the sound insulator foam block in the console and finishing with the shift control knob/boot assembly.

The first step to replace the shut-off boot of a Tremec 6-Speed transmission begins by removing both the shift control knob and the sound insulation foam block and shift control adaptor plate from the console. The electrical connector which connects to the shift control adaptor plate requires detachment before moving it to a different area. The installation begins with removing the shift control assembly's 2 bolts from the component's connection to the shift control adaptor plate. Afterward install the plate's 4 nuts to fasten it to the tunnel reinforcement. Drain out the shift control boot assembly and adaptor plate from the vehicle. Secure the shift control adaptor plate to the tunnel reinforcement by installing the 4 nuts and torque them to 12 N.m (106 lb in). Lift the shift control lever until it reaches the shift control adaptor plate and install the 2 bolts for assembly retention by torqueing them to 18 N.m (13 lb ft). Attach the electrical connector to the shift control adaptor plate while also returning the sound insulator foam block to its console position and finishing with the shift control knob/boot assembly installation.

Install the 4 nuts to secure the shift control adaptor plate to the tunnel reinforcement, tightening them to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).

Tug lightly to ensure it is securely attached to the console trim plate opening.

Insert the front tabs of the shift control boot into the console trim plate opening and press the rear of the shift control boot down into the opening.
