Re: Shift rod seal removal

[john8504]

The only concern I see is that the bottom is a metal fitting that’s covered in rubber that is pressed in. Even if I don’t get the boot, I would like to see about the fitting that presses into the lower unit. It seems like it helps to stabilize the rod. I’ll take a pick of the lower unit when I get home and add a pic. The boot fitting is larger than the oil seal.

Another thought. The old fitting is not scored up but the rubbed is torn off. Is there a way to re-rubberized it?
