Nice job!
I wonder how some shifter boots last longer. Mine's perfectly fine although the vinyl cover looks trashed.

Might not be worth the trouble and cost. The flexing will just tear it up again. Like Space-junk

I think I agree, don't want to waste time and money on fixing this boot if it's not going to hold. I'm going to try to find the best shape OEM one I can.

Maybe look for a generic boot at summit or jegs that will fit in the same hole?

Cory I can't find your wtb thread so I'll post here. I have this one from my 81 restoration which had an 86 22r and I have no idea what trans. It's in one of my parts bins. I'll just have to find it if it will work for you.

That's slick, you've got to work with what you have! This cheapo tranny jack is worth the cost, like $50 at HF. My truck is the perfect height too, so that once tranny jack is lowered all the way, it will roll right out from underneath the frame with the trans sitting on it.

The hunt continues for a boot, for reference, the Toyota part number on the bottom of mine says 58286-89120.

Still been kinda trolling eBay for a good shifter boot, just haven't seen one in the condition I want. In meantime driving truck with a gaping hole there stinks, so I RTVd my boot back together.
Before
After
I painted the metal plate also. Unfortunately I only had clear RTV, but this is just temporary.
On another note, I received my prize from the Yotatech giveaway, an ARB portable air compressor. Only opened it up so far, but the quality is amazing. Comes with an air hose, blow gun, tire check, compressor and tank all in about fancy hard case. Can't wait to try it out.
Thank you Yotatech, truly amazing giveaway.

or black nylon thread, then go over the seam with contact cement or urethane adhesive. I had fixed lots of things with upholstery grade nylon thread and baseball stitch.

Cory- nice job on the repair. those things are hard to find..RAD4runner's idea of the thread works wonders, use it a lot to repair stuff in the army
you are gonna love the compressor..they screwed up and sent me the portable like you won too. I picked up a little air ratchet to use with it and it kicks butt!

I'm not a good stitcher, but I might give this a go. I have some kind of personal issue paying $75 for a beat up 30 year old piece of rubber, not sure why. In the meantime, I might try to clean up my repair with the stitching.

Thanks magnet! Yeah I was thrilled to have won.
After Hurricane Irma my neighbor had a tree go down. He cut the tree up weeks ago, but the stump was still there, so I my truck over there and used the winch to pull the stump out. We dug around the stump to break up the root system and we pried and dug along with the winch to help out out. The winch is a Warn xd9000i, which I recently overhauled. I noticed that when I let off the winch control, the brake would not hold and the stump would fall back in the hole. We managed to get the stump out and bib went home and did some reading on the winch brake. Seems like I did not properly rewind the spring that pushes the brake into the drum, so now I need to take winch apart to fix it.
