shift boot?

[mgs2006]

Hey does anyone know how to install a shift boot on a '00 ford escort, how do you take the original boot off? any sugestions?

if it's like the 91 to 96 'scorts just remove the center console and the boot is attached on the bottom side...

How do i remove the center console? is it hard? i have a 00 escort but the center console seems to be the same for the most part as the 91-96's, not much of a difference that i can tell.

remove the shift knob and remove the screws that anchor the console to the floor...

where are the screws that anchor the console to the floor located? inside the shift boot somewhere? I dont see any screw heads on the outside of the console.

i'm not sure on anything newer than '96...on my '94 the screws are on the bottom of the console near the floor...near the front ...middle ...and the rear.....the ones in the middle seperate the front half of the console from the rear half....i have to move my seats foreward or back to get to the middle screws....of course i'm not sure if the newer one is anything like mine...
