Shifter trim

**SiônRo88** · 03-19-2011, 08:29 PM

So the trim around my shifter is busted, I went to the local junkyard and the only Galants they had were automatics. I placed an order with a dealership for the part and they sent an email back saying they no longer stock that part. I removed the shift boot and what was left of the trim so I have a big open space around my shifter and I'm sick of this eye sore. Does anyone know of an aftermarket trim for the 7g or any other fix for this issue? I'm having no luck finding a replacement trim. I plan on putting a short throw shifter in the car and an aftermarket or custom shift boot (from redline). Any ideas?

Thanks

Auto trims work with the stock rubber boot

Is that a stock shift boot? Mine doesn't look anything like that.

noo, that isnt the oem.

the stock one is so hard to find its pointless unless you want to pay 25 bucks for a new one at the dealer

on ebay a guy makes leather ones for our cars, it will say 91-93 but its the same thing. im going to get that

i heard that the accord one fits.

make your own?

**SiônRo88** · 03-21-2011, 09:45 PM

Don't know how?

Anyway, I think this is the shift boot on ebay that Galanttuner mentioned. If anyone is interested.

yea thats it

**unclepaulie** · 03-22-2011, 05:00 AM

measure the height you want it, measure the bases and the tops, cut 4 triangles

sides will be the same
front and rear will most probably be different
leave some material round the sides for sowing

and bob's your uncle, new shifter boot

What's the metal rinng Around urs?

**SiônRo88** · 04-03-2011, 12:16 AM

So I was able to get some free time today and decided to go check a couple junkyards and every galant I found had the shifter trim taken already. Does anyone know where I can find this part, maybe online somewhere or hopefully someone has one laying around that they'd be willing to sell?

Are you talking about the auto trim because I don't think that anyone is going to give up the manual trim if they do have it?

**evil-G-nius** · 04-03-2011, 01:44 PM

Random question...is the eclipse short shifter shorter than ours? I mean my short shifter looks like an 18 wheeler shifter! LOL I love it, but looking at MKO's I want a shorter one. Maybe not quite as short as his....but shorter than what I have

**98mgalant** · 04-03-2011, 03:38 PM

That's actualy 4grims I think. Mko was just using it as an example.

**SiônRo88** · 04-03-2011, 08:11 PM

Manual or Auto trim, I don't care either way. According to MKO's post the Auto trim will work, so I went back to the junkyard and checked ALL the 7g Galant's, the trim was taken from all of them. I've searched ebay and didn't find anything, does anyone have any ideas?

**SiônRo88** · 04-07-2011, 08:28 PM

So any ideas on something else to use other than the OEM shifter trim? I've been asking people on ebay that were selling 7G interior parts but still haven't had any luck.
