Hey guys,

I installed a JDM Shifboot on my GS-R shifter. I'm noticing the boot to be stretching a bit in second gear, or in fifth or in third. Is this normal? My GS-R boot was not like this. Does it have to break it in? Or is the GS-R shifter heigher than the ITR shifter? Here are some pics:

In second gear:



and in third gear


I think this one is in forth gear:


Is the GSR shifter the same as the ITR shifter? Someone please advise.

Thanks in advance.

 

if I remember right the type-R shifter is just barely shorter. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

by the way nice wind suit.

 

Are you sure thats the real deal, or knock off?

 

It will stretch out, mine looked the same way.

 

Third looks fine. It looks like its just a little stretched. Or maybe its just the camera reflecting off your clothes.

PS. it looks like to change clothes pretty fast.

 

ya, I'm sure its a real JDM boot.

and yeah thats my soccer track suite

 

ya, thats what I'm thinking... thanks.


So anyone know for sure if the ITR Shifter is in fact shorter or the same height as the GSR?

 

Looks ok to me.

 

whats the red button for.......nawz yo?........eject seat?

No.


You have to push the ring down the shifter. It should show a little of the shift rod.

 

might be backwards.

edit: before we get flammers, saying its not possible, it is. the hole is made to go more toward the ebrake. i know cause I replaced mine with one and had to turn it the other way.

The leather **** clips into the boot, there is no ring to push down, and if you did it would just expose the black clips on the ****.

 

yeah mine did the same thing, got mine brand new from inlinefour.com

it will be ok
i pushed the top of my plastic piece down and put a zip tie under it so it won't move.

 

lol...nice windbreaker jumpsuit....members only?

 

mine stretches its normal if it was new needs to break in

yes, this button is an eject button . In the event I loose control at high speeds, I get thrown out of the moonroof.

The ring clips on the ****..you CAN'T push it down. I screwed the **** on so hard that its not even possible to remove it.

U.S. 97-98 shift **** does not mate to JDM shift boot (You can make it clip on, but than you will start a thread and ask why the shift boot is stretched). JDM red-stitched shift boot does not clip to that shift ****. Its suppose to show a little of the shift lever. (Thats the reason the shift lever is chrome on 00/01 U.S. ITRs and black on 97/98 U.S. ITRs)

You cannot use the JDM shift boot with the stock 97-98 USDM shift *****. You need to get a new **** that does not have the clips...
