My 5 speed swap has begun. The C6 hangs by 2 bolts and is sitting on an unsecured tailshaft mount at the moment. What has been used for shift boots in the past? I'll be needing both, the one that seals the shifter to the trans and the one that seals the shifter to the trans tunnel.

Steve did the swap on his 91 box, not sure what he used or if even got that far.
His pictures are still up on supermotors

Also his write up on the entire event is in the archive.

i used the lower plate from a mustang, bent it up a little
and the boot i got from a ranger without cup holders
it scrunches down nicely
this old, old video is the only thing that shows it

Groovy. Does it matter what kind of Ranger trans? And is the Ranger boot taller than the Stang boot or something?
