I just purchased one of these from Camelback VW (800.876.5199). 251-711-167-E $2.85 ---------- >From: jgladu@bcm.tmc.edu[SMTP:jgladu@bcm.tmc.edu] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 1996 4:06 PM ========================================================================= Date: Sender: Vanagon Mailing List <vanagon@vanagon.com> From: Subject: boot: shifter linkage Tried to get a new boot for the spot where the shift rod connects to the shift actuator on the transaxle. On the '90 GL standard, this is a two-pleat accordian shape that fits over the nylon ball on the actuator and it changes into a cylindrical shape that fits over the body of the "receiver" (inside of which the nylon ball resides). The dealer tried to sell me a replacement that was pleated from top to bottom and didn't even approximate the OD of the "ball-receiver". Are there two different boots for two different linkages? How do I find the part number for the one that I described for mine? (cylindrical bottom, roughly 1" in length, then two or three pleats with a narrowed opening) Who knows what I'm talking about? (Me? I can't remember...)
