SpectrePerformance 6283 Small Shift Boot

Working perfectly

Looks great with a Hurst Shifter in a 1956 Chevy Nomad

When you're working on a 1970's hot rod and need to replace obsolete parts ... this is a perfect replacement for a Mr Gasket shifter boot that's been long gone. Happy I found this as u didn't want to drill new holes in the floor oan for a different style.

This is a good value, the rubber is of good quality. The plate that is included is the only reason this is 4 stars. The chrome plate is very thin, as others have commented, it will deform when you tigthen down the screws. If they could double the thickness it be a 5 star product.If the boot top will be installed 2" or more higher than the plate, you will have plenty of flex. The more extended the boot the easier it will move forward/back left/right. If your top shifter level point is closer to the shift plate, the rubber will bind and not enjoy moving more than about 3/4" in any direction. Simple physics, the ripple needs to be present for flexibility. Those who complain the rubber is too stiff most likely have it low on the shift lever close to the shift plate.I am using this to keep the outside weather from getting in my car, I am topping this with a leather shift boot and a plate from another brand.

This shifter boot is described that it "Covers rectangular openings up to 4 In. x 5 In." But, those are only the inside measurements of the chrome frame. The outer measurements of the frame are 5 1/4" wide x 6 3/8" long. Although the ribs in the boot are slightly different, it's dimensionally identical to the old Hurst shifter boot (probably part number 1144580, or "B-4") that was already in this car. It also seems to be dimensionally identical to a Mr. Gasket 9648 boot. Maybe this is helpful to you, maybe not.Anyway, I returned it because the outer measurements do not work for the new transmission tunnel that I built for this car.

Do not use for a manual shifter in cold environments. Tears easily.

I used it for my Supra that I did a BMW box on. Fit perfect after I trimmed off the biggest flange and flipped it upside down. Flexes enough with the chassis mounted shifter so it won't tear.

Great price great product
