Ideas for shifter boots/trim pieces

[sixstringsteve]

After modding my rig for duals, I now have 3 holes in the tranny tunnel. It's amazing how much heat blows up through there when there aren't any boots on the shifters.

Let's see some pictures of your shifter covers, I need some ideas of what to do.

I used a Hurst boot that is available at any part store along with others in the performance isle. To make it nicer you can get a boot and cover that is the same color as your front shifter from a junk yard or dealer. If you get one for a bench seat you would only need to modify the front part where it connects to the tranny shifter. I can post a pic of mine and there use to be some pretty fancy ones on TTORA.

what should I search on TTORA to find said pics?

I tried a search for shifter boot but most were for 2wd or manual to auto conversions. Back when I frequented the site I remember pictures of people's dual T-cases and boots to make it clean. Maybe dual case shifter boot in the search.

Here is a pic from searching dual case shifter boot. Might not help unless you find the center console as well.

a little ghetto and needs to be re-done every year or two...

piece of foam cut and painted.



That was in my bronco, my xj I have an air shifted range box and the twin sticks came right through the factory hole...



I still have foam on the under the bezel to keep the outside out and the inside in.

Here is a pic of the Hurst boot. I kind of like it since it reminds me of my Hurst shifter in my muscle car days.


I have something like this for my front.

No air or dust blows in that I noticed.

not bad. I may just go that route.

There are Jeep shift boots that are very universal, and would be pretty easy to adapt if you're not to elitist to have Jeep parts on a Toyota. There are usually several different flavors in stock at teraflex. They are nice and cheap too.

I hope I'm not that elitist

Thanks for the tip, I'll check out Teraflex.

I wasn't meaning at all that you were elitist. If a part fits and functions well, who cares who makes it.

 

[sixstringsteve]

No offense taken, I totally agree that if it works, I don't care what it came from. I am a bit too elitist for my own good though.

very universal, .

How much more universal can something be??

Advance Adapters sells boots without the attached AtlasII. I used one on my old doubler setup after an exhaust leak lead to a scary Carbon Monoxide poisoning experience (yes I fixed the leak too).
