Miata 06+ INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 

1. Remove the shift knob. It is screwed on with no set screw.

 

2. Remove center console: it is attached with five screws and two clips. The screws are located as follows;

a. in the rear, 2 under the plastic piece;

b. in the center, 1 in the bottom of the cup well

c. in the front, 3 under the coin holder

 

3. Once the five screws are removed, lift up the console and the two clips at the front. As the console is being lifted, twist off the hand brake handle by moving it from side to side and pulling up. When the console is raised about 6” (15cm), reach under and unclip the electrical connector for the window switches. If you car is equipped with heated seats, unclip those connectors. Once the handbrake handle is off and all electrical connectors are released, lift the console off and place it upside down on a soft cloth or towel.

4. Installing the shift boot: The console is upside down. The shift boot is held in place with a plastic clamping ring attached with 4 screws. Remove the screws, clamping ring and stock boot. Remove the stock boot and replace it with the RedlineGoods shift boot. The RedlineGoods boot goes over the inside clamping ring with the cut openings fitted over the plastic tabs. Reattach the clamping ring, boot and to the underside of the console.

5. Installing the handbrake boot: The console is upside down. The handbrake is held in place with a two-piece plastic clamping ring attached with 2 screws and clips. Remove the screws, the clamping ring and the stock boot. Observe how the stock boot is fitted over the plastic tabs. The handbrake handle is still attached to the boot. Simply pull the handle out of the boot.

7. Now insert the stock handle into the REDLINE boot. The REDLINE boot goes over the inside clamping ring with the cut openings fitted over the plastic tabs. Reattach the clamping ring, boot and to the underside of the console.

8. Reattach center console. Be sure to reinstall all the connections. Reinstall the shift knob. Adjust the shift boot to 'crinkle' as you desire.

 
Useful tip

You have installed a product made out of genuine leather. As you know, to maintain a leather product in good condition, you should take care of it. We suggest occasionally (every 4-6 week for example) applying some leather conditioner/UV protector to keep your leather from drying up in the sun and cracking.

Redline Automotive Accessories Corp. will not be held liable for any labor, incidental or consequential damages of any kind. Proceed at your own risk.
