I went through my shifter earlier this year and recalled that servicing
it is a subject that comes up periodically. In the hope it could be a
permanent resource for just these occasions, I took the opportunity to
document the parts, functionality and correct dis/assembly of the entire
shifter unit. I will send you an image and accompanying Word doc.

Subject: [Tigers] Shift Boot Install Wisdom
Needed...
Ok, so I removed a shift boot that has been on the Tiger for,
lemme
see, an even 50 years. Hard as an old tractor tire that has been out
in
the sun for several decades. I have a new one to install, along with a
new chrome ring and screws. So I am looking at the reverse lockout bar
and
saying to myself...that looks like it is going to be difficult to
do, lol. I
see that the lever can be removed but, truthfully, that does
not look like it
will help any at all. So, I am guessing that the
proscribed method is to
simply stretch that boot over the shaft and the
lockout bar as best one can.
That it? Does a slight amount of heat from
a heat gun help any? Silicon
spray? How have some of you folk recently
done it?
Any help out there?
