This is an upgraded transmission shifter boot bezel for the 1984-1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ, 1986-1992 Jeep Comanche MJ, and 1997-2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ with a manual transmission. Replaces OEM part numbers 18886.94 and 53000056. This bezel is more flexible than the originals to eliminate the cracking and broken tab issue the injection molded versions have. It is much easier to install and remove than the original as well. Several areas of the bezel have been beefed up to make the part much stronger overall. The boot is NOT included, this is just the bezel that holds the boot on.
INSTALLATION:
1. Unscrew the shifter knob and remove.
2. Remove the original boot and bezel by inserting a small flat head screwdriver at the back of the shifter between the boot and console insert and prying up lightly. Then pull it up over the shifter. (SEE IMAGES FOR AN EXAMPLE)
3. Peel the original boot off of the old bezel and stretch the original boot over the new bezel.
4. Reinstall the boot and bezel and press down into the console trim to snap it into place and reinstall the shifter knob.
If it ever needs removed, simply use a flat head screwdriver at the back of the shifter bezel as mentioned in step 2.
