Slick
Hope it solves your problem, but do not blame me if it does not. Here is another pic showing the bottom side. Notice six holes, so it must be used with different "chrome rings" on other cars.

Good point Warren, will the original 4 hole chrome ring fit on the 6 hole Tiger unit?

Yes, the 4 hole Cobra chrome ring fits with NO problem on the Sunbeam boot. I should have said in my last post ..... there are six holes, so it also can be used with different "chrome rings" on other cars.

Shift Boot-ing me outta second gear!
I know it's an old thread, but it helped solve my issue. Just ordered the Sunbeam Tiger boot from Sunbeam Specialties and they still carry that part. |

Funny that this post was revisited as this just happened to me last week on my Hurst shifter 5 speed on my brand new Cobra. Thought at first that it was the trans problem. but we figured out that it was the boot. I plan on replacing the still rubber style boot with a leather one. That should do it. Interesting that other have had the same problem.

The boots that we use can be stretched (carefully) over the T handle on the shifter.

I usually heat the boot up in boiling water and it then stretched over the T lockout lever.

Cars that have a Tremec transmission have a dummy "T". If you remove the shifter ball you can access the Allen set screw that retains the "T". No worries with stretching the bot if the "T" is not there.

Or...you can simply lift the old boot, unbolt the shifter from the Tremec, then slide the boot on from the bottom of the shifter handle...
