shifter boot

[worth165]

I have a 87 b2 witrh 5speed manual and four wheel drive, and my boot has a huge hole in it. I tried LMC truck but they have discontinued the part. Does anybody have any ideas?

Is'nt your boot sorta like two boots with a "divider" trim plate between them? If so, is your 5 sp. manual shift boot torn or the 4x4 boot?
I'm thinking you might be able to splice a good boot onto the good half of your boot. ( If you follow me).

the boot is torn way to badly. the trans shop that replaced my trans rip it when the pulled it off.

[cddavis9343]

If your boot is the same as the "double boot" for the automatic tranny shifter / 4x4 shifter combo, then I might have that. The photo looks the same as my boot and the listing info does'nt say it won't fit the auto tranny combo. (Item #5 just says 5 speed).

If you measure the dimentions of your mounting screw holes on the black plastic floor trim piece, I'll tell you if it's the same as mine. Trim piece the same.... boot should be too.

Hey...as long as we're in the neighborhood, do you have a diagram of the shifter itself? Have a 5 spd overdrive that is mighty loose, 85...thanks. P
