  Q: How to replace the control lever and Shift Linkage Boot on Chevrolet Colorado?

  A:

  To replace the control lever and shift boot, first one must remove the shift lever assembly (D06 or W/O D06). For vehicles without d06 take out the console. Then, remove the screws out of the control lever boot and tip the boot in order to detach it from the control lever. Shift the transmission into neutral then loosen the control lever housing assembly bolts and pull the housing assembly and the gasket out. Mask off the control lever housing opening to prevent debris from entering the transmission, and dismantle control lever housing if necessary. For installation, reassemble the control lever housing in case it was disassembled, remove the masking and clean up or dry the sealing surface. Set the control lever gasket onto the transmission while ensuring that the control lever housing assembly falls into line through the opening of the control lever assembly while doing so aligning the bushing with the internal shift control lever. Mount the control lever housing assembly bolts and torque the bolts with a torque of 20 n.m (15 lb ft). Prop the boot into place over the control lever, making sure the carpet is not caught between the boot and the floor panel, then tilt the boot to properly fit against the floor. Mount the control lever boot screws and tighten them to 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). Finally, reinstall the console if necessary and the shift lever assembly (D06 or W/O D06).
