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.
Hickenlooper was viewed as a possible contender for Governor of Colorado in the November 2006 election to replace term-limited Republican Governor Bill Owens. Despite a Draft Hick campaign, he officially announced on February 6, 2006 that he would not seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
Among Republican governors, fourteen are term-limited, while ten can seek re-election. One independent governor, Bill Walker of Alaska, is eligible for re-election. Neither New Hampshire nor Vermont have term limits, and the Oregon governor elected in the 2016 special election will be eligible for re-election in 2018.
