Oops. Don't know why I thought he was Dodge too. LReiff, the boot is below the black shifter boot you see when you look in the truck. The local Dodge dealer had a hard time coming up with the part #, then told me it was on national backorder. I did not look at the truck myself, but it looks like it had a rubber-coated, steel ring that got pressed into the top of the transmission. It is, what I would call fluted and the inner hole fits tight against the shifter stub shaft. I think the purpose of the boot is to keep the oil in the tranny and dirt and water out.
