The 1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova 4-speed black shift boot plate is a component used in vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, specifically those with a floor-mounted shifter. Here's what you need to know about it:
Function: The shift boot plate serves as a mounting platform for the shift boot, which surrounds the base of the manual shifter and prevents dust, debris, and fumes from entering the passenger compartment through the shifter opening in the floor. Additionally, the shift boot plate adds a finishing touch to the interior of the vehicle, providing a clean and cohesive look around the shifter assembly.
Compatibility: The 1962-1967 Chevy II/Nova 4-speed black shift boot plate is designed to fit specific models of the Chevy II/Nova produced during this time period. These models may include both coupe and sedan variants with manual transmissions and floor-mounted shifters.
Construction: Shift boot plates are typically made of durable materials such as stamped steel or die-cast metal, capable of withstanding the forces exerted during shifting and the rigors of daily use. They are often coated or painted with a black finish to provide corrosion resistance and enhance the appearance of the interior.
Installation: Installing a shift boot plate involves securing it to the floor of the vehicle's interior using screws, bolts, or other fasteners. The shift boot is then attached to the plate using snaps, clips, or other attachment mechanisms. Proper alignment and positioning of the shift boot plate are essential to ensure a snug fit and proper function of the shift boot assembly.
Maintenance: Proper maintenance of the shift boot plate involves periodic inspection for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Plates that are bent, cracked, or rusted may need to be repaired or replaced to maintain the integrity and appearance of the interior. Additionally, cleaning and conditioning the shift boot and plate can help prolong their lifespan and preserve their finish.
Replacement: If the shift boot plate becomes damaged, worn out, or fails to provide adequate support for the shift boot, it should be replaced. Replacement shift boot plates are available from us
