I just installed a reproduction of the original boot. Looks good $50 From Mega Parts.

I have recently purchased a 1965 D100 first gen with the NP435. My shifter boot is very brittle and will fall apart if moved. I have the shifter dust boot and retainer on order. But I am having a hard time finding a original outer shifter boot. Are there any companies that still sell them?

I have seen the Omix-ADA 18886.96 Outer Shift Boot replacement for a '97 Jeep Wrangler, it looks close.

What are people using?

Thanks for your assistance.

Factory Boot no longer available new. This may work.

Thanks Texas2step for the link. It looks like the size is 10.5" long.

The Wrangler one; is 6"X 4.5" which seems pretty close to the opening on my flooring.

Just wondering if anyone had installed anything that worked good?

How does that attach to the hump? This is what I used in my' 67. https://www.amazon.com/MITZONE-Transmis ... 306&sr=8-3

Thanks I like the look of that one, especially with the combined hold down ring.
I'm going to order one tonight.

You have to drill 4 holes in the top ring and attach with sheet metal screws. ( the clips on bottom of the ring are specific to the jeep model and don't work on our trucks. no problem)

One thing I did with my truck that has worked is to fold a "boot" out of hardware cloth that goes around the transmission tower under the "inner" rubber boot to keep rats and mice from getting up there. Don't know if this is a problem for you, but it has worked for me so far because of the stiffness of the motor mounts on the hydrobell.
