many do the on'n off'n on again to 'get it'. I used the case to do so. 1st - a measurement block face to 'tower' or stick, cut a lil, brought case up for view, marked, droped dwn case (transmis jack & lift are such great inventions). Cut a lill. Brought back'n fit well. Do not cut too much as a boot may not cover / stretch. Then attach boot/estachon. To B really happy? I'm gunna make a huge plate for that & my transmission stick. It will B like the early imports. The boots will come up w/the single large plate. Some speed nuts, 3/8th bolts and a weather strip for noise'n H2O intrusion will complete (THIS could B done w/all the 'lift' in the plate)..
