Question for WickedSludge

I clicked on your link in your signature "click for candy" and in one of the pic's I seen you have a shifter for each i.e. transfer and transmission, did your truck come this way or did you make the shift boot?

Not sure about the shift boot itself, but i know he swapped in the maual tcase.

Well see my truck had the swap from auto to manual but I am trying to find a shifter boot like that.

If he would have been kind enough to include posting the image he was talking about, perhaps one of the rest of us could have answered his question. But since most of us are lazy and not willing to go searching for said picture...

OK, here is the picture. And I did send him a PM, but I kind of figured if others seen this post maybe they would have a link to one or just might have one for sale.
Here is the picture:

Ok, shift boots and the plastic trim appear to be stock... for any RBV with a manual trans and manual t-case.... that sorta looks like an FM-146, T-K or Mitsu trans shifter boot... FM-145's had a different style shifter boot but the same setup.

Shift knobs are custom.

Yes, definately, I can't find one here in Fl where I live. I was just going to buy 2 shifter boots and try to make them work. The guy that had the truck never had one in the truck, just a hole in the floor so I took 2 old Bass pro bags I had (they are vinyl like in an above ground pool) and wrapped them around the shifters and then shoved the ends under the carpet as best as I could. When that heat comes through the hole, it gets hot in the cab quick.

That appears to be a Mazda M5OD with the manual tansfer. I need that same set up in my BII. My truck has a swapped in tranyand I have the FM146 boot. The Mazda has more off set that the 146. If you find some of these in a junk yard I will be interested.

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

M5OD backed by 1350 manual.

shift boots are out of the 1994 donor and are stock ranger boots.
