WTB ASAP: Stupidest Shifter Part

Stupidest part ever, but it keeps the gear oil smell out of the car.

I'm looking to buy what's called the "inner boot" (sits under the leather shift boot). Here's a pic of it:



If you got it, let me know a price and shipping to 91789 Walnut, CA. If you're local I can pickup ASAP. I'm sick of getting high on gear oil fumes.

I believe S13/S14 is the same part since we share the same shift assemblies, etc. so as long as there's no tears and it's not brittle, I'll take it.

Cancel this thread... or not - because I figured out a simple way to fix the tear - I used, of all things, your general all-purpose bicycle tire fix kit. I sprayed the rubber boot with carb cleaner to get all the gear oil off the surface, and as per instructions, coated the broken area with rubber cement, stuck 2 patches on it (one on top, one underneath, to sandwich the tear), let it sit for about an hour, and there you go - sealed inner rubber boot.Since the patches are flexible, the seal would fold and stretch fine.

No more gear oil smell, and I saved about $30 (what the cost of a new boot from the dealer would have been)
