Shifter boot that doesn't dry rot in 1 year!!???!?!?!?!?!?
I know someone on here has to have a shifter boot that is easy to mount and doesn't dry rot in about a year. What are you guys running?

Hey Jeff,
I have one of the Made in Mexico ones that is hanging in there no problem. There is a bit of the rubber "casting flash" on it but overall it has been good, flexible and been in service now for 3 years since installation.
I have a factory one in stock and you can see the difference but not enough to say it looks like crap.
My original one had a failure right where the shifter comes out, a zillion shifts it has seen through all my racing and then some.
Picture is the Mexican one.

I have the same one. I got it from ebay.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

I think that the best shifter boot that I have ever used was an old CV boot. Didn't crack in the ~4 years that I ran it and replacements are very easy to come by.

I have had it so long in my inventory I do not remember where I got the Mexican one.
The factory one I got from Specialty.
I do treat it with a plastic spray that keeps it supple.
