does the shift pole or bar separate between the black larger piece and the metal ball end? I am trying to install a new transmission rubber boot and the hole is so small. the boot is not the one visible in the picture. btw this is not my picture I just used it for an example.

you could always do it the proper way and put the shifter in and then boot over. if the hole is too small for that i'd say either cut the boot to size or get a new shifter or new boot.

Just install the shifter and rub some grease on it and slide the boot right over the hole stretches I've done it with no problem

This.

For future reference, you can take the shifter apart farther than it is in the picture. The ball and shaft are held together by a very thick urethane based glue.

I can't believe how easy it was, Ya I just used some grease on both parts and it slid on like nothing! Thank all of you for the help
