After seeing pictures of the 09 I wanted that shifter with the added bin on the side and the leather boot. While looking I found an 09 SS shifter and purchased it, and then was a little confused on how to change it so I figure I would help any one else who is wanting to do this.

Begin by removing the chrome, and the orignal shifter


Then remove the window switch cover by just giving it a nice tug its held in by two clips, and locate two bolts that holds the bezel down and unbolt it with a 9/32 socket and then pull it off there are three clips holding it on.


And unplug the windows and place out of the way.



Then remove the black and white shifter parts


Replace with the new parts and you get this.

 

very nice!! Much better than the plastic "roll top" stuff.

 

Nice job!! It sure looks better then the old style.

 

That looks great. How did you get the plates over the knob?

 

You take the knob off. you just gently pry off the leather boot, and remove the screw with an allen wrench.

 

I'm sure he used a plastic stretcher! I just slay me!

 

i saw an 09 last week, and that is just one of the differences in the 09 that i liked........ great job and pictures.....

 

Do you have the GM part numbers..?

Thanks,

Cajun

 

Did you get this off of ebay??

 

Very cool. I've been thinking about that upgrade because it's right where I put the remote for my XM radio.
