• Q: How to Replace the Shift Linkage Boot on 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

  A: Before starting the boot replacement for transmission control lever you must first remove the lever. Push and lift the lower part of the boot covering the control lever to reveal the screws before you remove these screws from the four control edge retaining points. Smash the 4 plastic retainers off the floor after you succeed in removing the control lever boot retaining bezel along with its boot and retainers as one piece. Separate the boot retaining bezel from the control lever boot by removing its attached 4 plastic retainers. Then pull out the control lever insulator from the floor surface. Place the control lever insulator onto the floor before starting installation. The 4 plastic retainers should be inserted into the boot while assembling the retaining bezel to it. Secure the control lever boot retaining bezel and boot onto the floor through the installation of the 4 plastic retainers. Use downward pressure on the lower edge of the control lever boot as needed to put in 4 retaining screws which need to be torqued to 1.6 N.m (14 lb in). The transmission control lever needs installation as the last step.
