I have a base model 2013 gt. I like to order the boss shift knob. Do I still need to get the other shift boot? Or that was only required for the 11-12?

Thanks

I had to order the "premium' shift boot with the boss knob for my 13 GT/CS. So yes it is necessary.

Yes you need the premium shift boot or you can utilize the GT500 suede boot.

Got it from my local dealer and it was cheaper than part heaps.com. Came out to $96. With tax for the boot and knob..

Next.... Flashy pedals.

Niz, you're going to really like that knob. Looks super sharp, and 2nd to 3rd is just a forward push. You got a decent price, too.

Post pics when you can.

I just ordered the Boss knob and shift boot today for my '12. I think it looks the best of all I have seen online. Hell AM is out of stock on every knob they carry. So I said F it and ordered the expensive Boss knob. Knob and boot $98 from parts cheap.I hope the boot is not a PITA to install

It's not that bad, just take your time with clips.
I also had to clean the threads on the shifter to be able to screw in the new knob all the way.

I have the Boss 302 knob + GT500 alcantara boot and it's great. Really improves the interior look and like others I too think this knob is the best option (OEM prob wont fade, etc).

Installed it w/ a Steeda Tri-Ax + Barton 2 post shifter bracket - now it's like a brand new car. :bigthumbsup

Nice! I am thinking about ordering a Boss shift knob soon. The 401A aluminum shift knob was stupid expensive, but it really accentuates the interior. :shiny:

Parts came in and went to dealer and picked them up. Made sure their we're no scratches on the knob before I left. It was all good. Install was very simple. Just be carful with the clips. Stock boot came off pretty easy and the premium boot went in even easier. shift knob also went smooth. I think it was 4 turns and it was tight.

I must say, I really really love this thing. Interior looks much better. Knob feels just right when your shifting threw the gears. I must say, shifting might have gotten better. Maybe is just in my head but I like it alot. Here are some pics.

Btw, the sheets on the bed are my girlfriends idea not mine.

Do you have to remove the whole console to replace the boot?

Yes you do. Pops outs pretty easy.

Love this knob...thanks for the pix. Will be ordering one for my car (to replace the stock 401A ice cube/branding iron).

BTW cloth seats win (can't get 'em in Canada :nono

Ok from what I've found using the search , You just open the console lid and grab the rear cupholder and pull up..Is this correct?
