I just got a full console (off a '90 XJ) from the junkyard installed today, somehow I got the perfect color match so wahoo as far as that goes. The whole thing bolted on quite easily but I am having a problem with my shift boot (i have a 5-speed).
The boot didn't work on the old mini-console because it was broken, so I had my hopes up for finally having the thing installed properly. It fits in perfectly and everthing, but I can't seem to figure out how it is supposed to fasten to the console. It appears it little tabs on the back of it that would seem to cause it to just snap in, but I haven't got this to happen yet.
Do I need to epoxy it in there or something? Or do I have to just snap it in there really hard? Or do I have to pull it up from under the console that way? Does anyone know? Where it is sitting now is hindering my shifting so i'd like to get it fixed up as fast as i can.
