The G56 boot fix
Hello DTR,
Doing an oil change this afternoon I noticed that my tranny seemed to be weeping. Uh oh....
Thats where that Gorrilla Juice smell was coming from. 
Did a lil investigating, it seems to be coming from the top of the tranny, some digging and I found what seems to be a common issue.
Crap!
Called up the dealer, 108 bucks for that sucker. Not gonna happen.
Some DTR searching and I found a fix that others were using and figured Id put it to use and detail it out here for in case someone else needs the help.
Ran over to O'Reillys, got a Doorman universal CV Joint boot, part number 614-001.
Trimmed the lower section off and gave it a nice snug fit to the top of the shift tower.
A couple of stainless hose clamps later, and its good as new.
Twenty bucks all in. Works for me!
