You've got the new style shift linkage (mine's an '81). I got a new
boot for mine (OEM is NLA), I forget which US vendor I got it from, but
it was packaged by justkampers in the UK. It lasted less than a year
before being in shreds again. If you can get OEM ones, I would do it,
unless they're $50. I just use a piece of bicycle innertube and some
tie wraps now.
