I might be able to set you up with one if you can't find it anywhere else. I'm pretty sure it came out of a 5 speed '88. Too early in the morning to be remembering these things :yes: As far as aftermarket goes, try local auto parts dealers around your area. Not too sure who's around you, but there's always RockAuto that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would like to find a source for the lower boot that fits between the floor and the shifter. My upper boot looks okay. If/after I find one I'll have to figure out how the upper shifter rod comes off the stub shaft so I can get the lower boot on the stub shaft.

They come apart but not easily. You should remove the whole shifter from the top of the tranny and use a wooden dowel or block, placed against the upper shaft, and strike the wood with a hammer to separate the the two sections. Use a vice to hold the lower section but protect it from getting scratched or damaged. This is the inside of the upper section: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks to you both - Aficianado and Addict - for the information. I've got the interior out now - repairing floor rust,installing buckets, dyeing carpet, checking fuse box, etc, etc, -so it's a good time to replace the boot. I've learned just enough from this forum to be dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
