Up to 1987, all 911 came with a long black metal stick shift between the seats, rising up from a rubber shift boot. Our 911 shiftboot is a great way to cover up the shift and update it to a modern luxurious look. 1987 through 1989, Porsche changed the transmission to a better unit, called a g-50 . The leather on these were very thin and wear out quickly, especially lighter colors such as linen and camel. Our replacement boots uses thicker leather to avoid this problem. Please indicate color when ordering; black will be the default color. This part has a 2-3 week lead time.
