I read somewhere that a mustang shifter boot could be used to repair the factory lower one. Now I can’t find any information on how to do it. Or what year car anyone have any ideas?
I remember that thread too, but can not remember who posted it.
I think he took part of a Mustang boot and RTV'ed it onto the center of the OEM Dodge lower boot so it still mounted up in the OEM way.
When I got my truck about 15 years ago the floor boot was trashed so I bought a bellows type from Summit IIRC to replace it. It had to be big to cover the hole in the floor. Later on I used a universal CV boot and cut it down to fit the tower out of the G360.
That pleather boot is a nice option, but without an under boot, water, salt and dirt will splash up and into the truck soaking the carpeting / jute padding and rotting out the floor.

yea and a lot of noise too. My upper is in good shape just got to get the bottom sealed up
Done some internet surfing may have found the mustang shifter boot that works it’s ordered I guess I’ll know when it gets here
Please post up pics and part # if it works for you. I did not have one on my truck with the NV4500 conversion, I just packed the shift boot area with the fiberglass type insulation I used as underlay and roof insulation....seems to be working out fine for me, but a proper boot would be nice.
