ON MY 95 to remove the gear shift boot all you have to do is pull it out to
the side at the bottom . It's held in place with a elastic string around the
base of the boot. Pull it out to one side and you'llsee what I mean. Then
you just unscrew the knob and the whole boot comes off. Definitely get the
Bentley manual it will save you money.
