I tried to do it and a stock Fox boot won't really fit well.

It will fit fine in Park or revese, but if you pull the shifter down into D or 1 (or 2 and 1 for you a4ld guys) it would pull the boot off or bind up.

Even the 5-spd plate didn't want to fit around the Auto shifter right.

Got any pics?

I worked at it for a while but still couldn't get it to work out good. Maybe there is a physical size difference between an AOD and A4LD shifter unit?? That's where my prob was, the 5-spd plate was hitting the unit.
