Different car from the balky shifter question posed earlier and
answered so well:


The rubber boot that covers the ball-and-socket shift joint (back at
the transmission) has deteriorated. I went by my shop, who sent me to
the dealer, who sent me home. It doesn't appear in ETKA, but it looks
like a piece of bicycle inner tube might do.


What do others do?


Also, what type of transaxle lube should I use? I don't think I can get
redline around here, so what's an acceptable choice?


Thanks,


Jim


PS I'd appreciate an answer as soon as you can spare the time, if you
have one. I'm going out of town for a few days this afternoon and will
suspend list traffic--I don't want to miss replies.
