Problem with the shifter boot

everything looks good and fits well except for the shifter boot it doesn't fit the metal end of the cable and the clips are too long You need as much room to get in there as possible and excess disturbs

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly

You get what you pay for.

The rubber that makes up the bellows is cheap. The transmission bellows are cracked and the exhaust bellows will not stay in place when the external actuator is lifted, even with bellows putty. Spend your money and get a better product.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Reliability

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Damaged

The alignment didn't match, but the old camp climbed. The new bearing does not match the size of its identification number. Tried to…

Pros
  • Solid Finish
Cons
  • Volume
