Step 3
Install the Shift Boot, lining up the edges of the shift boot to the edges of the shifter and place the reference sticker sent with the Razo Shift Knob on the place where the Razo shift knob rests on top of the shifters WITHOUT pushing down on the actual knob.

Step 4
After wards, install the “collar” that is shipped with the shift knob. (i know the image is missing the shiftboot and the reference line, this was the only picture i had showing the collar on the shifter shaft)

*It’ll take some trial and error to get the reference line JUST right so that there isnt any tension pushing down on the inner shaft when the two halves are screwed together. If there is tension, your ignition will NOT let go of your key so take your time. It’s trial and error. Also, the center piece that centers the inner shaft in reference to the outer shaft can move around. Either hot glue gun it down, or use some duct tape to secure it down. Make sure the hot glue does NOT get on the inner shaft.
