Hey guys and gals, first post here.. This forum has helped me through countless problems with my mustang, but this one I cant seem to find an answer on. I recently did a T5 conversion on my 66 fastback with a Pro 5.0 shifter. I am having trouble finding a shift boot that will fit over the shifter and retain a stock appearance that will still bolt to the 4 holes in the trans tunnel. I would rather not go the leather type boot route... I did read somewhere that someone used a Hurst b-4 boot, but cant remember if it did work or not... Anyone been through this issue? Anyone know of a boot that will work? Thanks for your help in the past, and now.

Or know if a stock type boot can be trimmed to fit? I'm tired of ordering parts that don't work haha thanks!

I just went with the lokar leather with the screws. I know it doesnt fit what you are using but it worked nicely

Thanks billy. Looks like that is my only I option right now. I've been researching this for days and can't come up with any answers.. Do you have any pics on how it looks in your car? Thanks again for your help!

I'll post some tomorrow morn.

Hey Mike-
I have the same issue. Did you find a solution for a factory looking boot for the pro 5.0 shifter?
Thanks

Hey Jim,

Please ignore my post in the forum regarding you haha. I did not see this thread re-opened before I posted the new one.. But in regards to the shift boot... As of yet, no I have not found a solution haha. It's still sitting with an open hole and shifter. I was waiting to do the interior of the car before I took this problem head on. I do remember reading somewhere that the "hurst b-4" shifter boot would work, but could not find any solid definites before I spent the money to order one. If you happen to find one that works please let me know and I will let you know as well.

here is the locar, sorry that it took me 3 months to post it. i totally forgot

what stick are you mounting to the shifter? I bought a Hurst shifter handle and it came with a nice rubber boot that worked.

MonsterBilly

james i dig your handle. I have the hurst that only has one bend in it and it would be better if it was like yours. I have to reach pretty far to shift to 5th.
