This boot is a critical component for maintaining the longevity of your shifting mechanism. It slides over the shift rod and seats against the transmission nosecone, preventing road grime, salt, and moisture from entering the shift rod tunnel and prematurely wearing out the shift rod bushing or contaminating the transmission fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eAs a high-wear rubber item located on the underside of the vehicle, the original \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"81\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003enosecone boot\u003c\/b\u003e is often found torn, dry-rotted, or missing entirely.
