In this short but effective video, you will see how to remove the shift boot on the Audi A4 B8. First, disconnect the shift boot, which is attached with metal clips: simply pull it upward to remove it. Once done, you will see that the boot is secured by a metal clamp that you will need to unscrew: this will allow you to finally remove it and replace it with a new one. It is recommended to install the original shift boot replacement as it is much more durable than a compatible aftermarket part (and also looks better).
