I read these threads from time to time regarding this subject and wonder how little tension the shifter, and sliding syncro hubs have on the newer style 5 & 6 spd transmissions such as T5, T56, etc. They all have internal shift rods, and shift smoother and easier but with the OEM Toploader or BW T10 with external shift rods and control box this it would take much more than the effort exerted by the rubber shift boot on the lever to kick it out of gear. It's really hard to comprehend how the shift boot could really be causing this??
