Replacing shift lever boot

[Kevin Rhodes <krhodes1@maine.rr.com>]

Hello again,

Many questions today. How does one replace the rubber shift boot on a Spit 
with overdrive? Do you have to remove the shift lever from the 
transmission? The boot can't come up the lever due to the giant "tumor" 
thing in the middle of the lever for the wires to run through. Or do I have 
the wrong boot? Looking at my spare transmission it does not look like a 
fun task to remove the lever and actually have it work again....
