What kind of ****? If Momo, read on...
I haven't done this in my new car yet, but I came up with the "Coke Bottle Mod" for my last car, which seems to have done the trick for some people...

The basic idea is that the top of the coke bottle provides a lip for the top of the boot to rest snug against, just below the ****. The whole thing works because the Momo **** will thread itself right into the top of the coke bottle, effectively squeezing the collar of the boot between the top of the bottle cap and the ****. Here's the finished product in my '98...

Does this help?

I don't think that will work on the 02's........b/c
Our shift ***** don't screw on, they are now clamped on. There is a groove in the actualy rod that holds the shifter. I have not tried to re-attach the old clamp, but if done correctly, I don't see why you could not. If not you may have to buy another clamp.
So trying to attach the boot the aftermarket shift ****, there is one person who has done it, but I don't remember his name.

Well, this 'mod' would be transferable to the SS once you get it, so you could do it now or later...
Momo ***** secure themselves to the shift shaft with three set-screws, which means they will work with both the stock shifter and the SS kit shifter, both in the same manner.
Did you buy the **** already? Give it a shot and if you're not happy, put it back to stock. The best part about the coke bottle mod is that it only costs $.05! :>
BTW, I'm waiting for both a SS and a Momo **** to arrive. Whichever one gets here first will get installed first...

Sure it will. Momo ***** use 3 set screws to secure themselves to the shaft...
The coke bottle top and the boot are suspended by the ****, which is anchored to the shaft. It creates a suprisingly stock look...
