[FC] Rubber shift boot

[Paul Campbell]

Tim,  I just replaced my old worn out leather "boot" with the rubber one from one of our "prime vendors" and I just love it.  It actually seems to have reduced the vibration noise and seems noticeably quieter, and I have not experienced the problem you describe.  Is it possible that it is "binding up" some how?  Sorry you're having this problem, but I really like mine.

  I replaced the worn out and disintegrating pleather
  shift boot that came with my truck with a rubber one
  from one of the vendors. Now the truck will only stay
  in 2nd or 4th. The stiffness of the rubber boot cause
  the trany to pop out of 1st and 3rd. Will this wear
  in, or should I start looking around for a leather
  replacement?

  Thanks for the info..
