i have what appears to be a non-factory but pretty well done shift boot replacement on a 91.My problem is the boot was trashed and this is what I’m left with. Anyone ever see anything like this? If so, any recommendations for replacement options?

Looks OEM to me but it has been a few years since I messed with mine. If the boot itself is discontinued I would just find a dismantler that has the entire console in good shape.

If you look at the bottom it seems like they used an oem boot from ?? And modified the console to fit.

Here is a picture of that piece from my 94, ignore the added holes for gauges on the left side. Your left side of the shift boot may be slightly enlarged but no by very much. The metal bracket is the same.

I've never checked what replacements are available. FYI my 94 is factory leather.

If I don't go OEM when I replace mine, this is what I am going to do.

I looked into oem, the boot is discontinued. I contacted redline, they offered to send one that I could glue to the underside but I would rather get something that fits the bracket, I’ll probably end up getting a universal one and sew it around the bracket myself.
That looks almost like the same OEM bracket. The holes in the console look like they are slightly off (comparing pictures above) from the OEM one suggesting the console may not be OEM. It looks like the whole boot hole was cut out by hand. If the bracket is the same size as OEM the redline boot will wrap around it just fine. I had gotten the redline boot for my '91 and it fit perfectly over my bracket.

Ok, thanks. they were my first choice after I found the oem one was discontinued, maybe I’ll just try the regular one.

Well I ended up trying a cheapo amazon shift boot. I kind of hate the red stitching but it was a low risk trial. It barely fits, the stitching started coming apart but I got it one and applied a liberal an mount of epoxy to hold it all together.

Here it is installed. I’ll keep if for now but would like something shorter and less bunched up.
