bigtony08 · 03-12-2009, 08:49 PM

got board so i made this rockin, hand stiched sweater shift boot.

Max777 · 03-12-2009, 10:06 PM

lol, I made one out of a Crown Royal Baggie, mine is kinda ghetto, but it's only on there as a joke.

your shift boot looks a lot better btw, i just think you should coat the fabric in black.

bigtony08 · 03-13-2009, 06:57 AM

lol the interior is blue. but it was all i had so its just there as a quick fix. im trying to find a stock black boot but you know how that is.

Rotary#10 · 03-14-2009, 12:03 PM

lol +1 for creativity !!

bigtony08 · 03-14-2009, 02:15 PM

it works. here are some installed pics. the car will be finished monday.

Max777 · 03-14-2009, 08:17 PM

why not just get the manual transmission crossmember? your car is S5, and S5's have both sets of mounting points.

bigtony08 · 03-14-2009, 08:39 PM

no it doesnt i checked. i wish it did but it doesnt.

Max777 · 03-15-2009, 02:22 PM

hmm, MY car has both... so wierd, this is the second car I found out that hasnt, and the only S5.

Oh yeah, as a tip, my S5 vert was a factory manual, and it had a brace with 4 bolts that bolted up right next to the manual cross member. I asked, and that is where the auto cross member is supposed to bolt up.

bigtony08 · 03-15-2009, 02:38 PM

lol its fine i thought it was weird also maybe its only the stock 5speed car that has it.

I guess it's better that I at least know it now!

I'm just curious on how exactly you went about pulling a engine and tranny without noticing that the cross member has bolts in it?
I'm calling shenanigans!
