RockMJ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey guys, I'm in the process of overhauling my clutch assembly in my 88 MJ and I am in need of some input. Ever since I got the Jeep I had smelled that all too familiar warm gear oil stink while driving. After I dropped the BA10-5 this weekend I found that both shift boots were torn, the floor boot (I knew was bad) and the inner shift boot that goes on the transmission itself. Has anyone replaced the transmission inner shift boot on the BA10-5? The transmission itself works perfectly fine and I'm currently sourcing an AX15/231 setup but I need this for the time being. I have searched to exhaustion and nobody has the replacement inner boot for this trans (big surprise). Has anyone used a shift boot from another Jeep, or car and it worked? I am just tired of smelling that gear oil funk. Thanks guys RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have been looking at the T4 trans shift boot and I'm wondering if it would work. Stupid sh*t like this drive me up a wall I swear :fs1: RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I ordered up the T4 inner boot as its only a few bucks so if it doesnt work, no love lost. I have found threads with guys having similar issues but the threads died with no answers. I will post up what I find out RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hey Jim, I appreciate the link and I already have a new one for the trans tunnel. I am looking for the shift boot that mounts to the transmission itself to keep debris out of the case. I have not had any luck finding it so I picked up a T4 one that is somewhat the same style. It probably will not fit correctly but hopefully I can modify it to work. The BA10 one was discontinued years ago it looks like from what ive read RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMJ Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Turns out the T4 shift boot works perfectly! I was really impressed with how well it worked and the smell of oil in the cab is gone! Awesome :chillin: If anyone needs it, here is the link: http://www.quadratec.com/products/52109_00.htm RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
