At the base of the shift lever outer shell slice the rubber where it meets the shell inward using a razor ~ 1/16 inch. This is so that when you remove the outer shell the lower rubber flap stays behind. Mark the shell the amount that you want to remove. I used a Rigid #20 pipe cutter to do this.

In 36 states, governors are subject to some type of term limits. Some term limits were initially within state constitutions, while others were created through initiatives. Gubernatorial term limits can be either lifetime or consecutive, and may be based on years or terms served. In the 28 states where the limits are consecutive, once a governor has served the maximum number of years or terms, he or she must leave the governor's office.
