Just wondering if anyone on here has done it and can lend some advice. Did tons of searches but nothing on installing the brabus one specifically. I've got everything a part and am ready just to toss it but IDK how im supposed to attach the boot to the shifter or how the 2 optioins for aluminum inner shafts works...do i push them all they way up so all the wholes align or do i just push it up by hand and tighten with the set screws, etc

thanks,

ya i know how to take it all apart but the brabus shifter assembly and connection is different, i just cut some of the boot and ziptied it underneath...i posted final pics of it in the c55 section under my timeline

Use the o-ring to secure it and then use the screw they give you to punch in the leather to fully secure it.

oh well that woulda been good to know lol...i ended up just zip tieing it with some small zip ties i had and using the set screws to secure the knob to the inner tube

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just got this knob for a deal. Am I correct that the inner tube adapter is NOT fastened to the oem shaft? It just gets pushed down? there's 2holes on the inner tube adapter but no supplied screws. So the knob is essentiall secured via the boot. Without the boot you can just pull the knob up. Thanks.

I have a set screw that holds the boot on and a set screw that secures it to the inner shaft attached to the car...
