oldtrux - boot is by itself, not over the old one. The hurst shifter actually fills out inside the boot completely, an original 66 boot would not fit. I also could not fit the black rubber T5 mech sleeve simply because it rode too high up the stick, blocking the one you see from coming down enough, so I punted.

Stick was previously shown in neutral - but there is LOTS of clearance in 2/4/R. Here's 3 pics - first pic is in 3rd (fwd), last 2 are in 4th (aft).

I posted the last pic to really show the clearance, kinda hard to to tell in pic #2. There's about 5 inches of clearance between the stick and seat with the stick back in 2/4/R.
