M38 T90A1 Shift boot

Post by Brumbach »

Who offers the correct rubber shift boot for the T90A1? I've found various suppliers that offer one that'll work but it doesn't come close to resembling the original.

Thanks,

Bill

The military T-90's do not use a boot in the shift cane cover like the civvy T-90's. The military shifter can has the boot attached to it rather then the stamped steel floor cover of the tub.

Unlike the civvy floor cover this M38 cover has no holes drilled for a round steel boot retainer plate.

This is the one for the Military tranny and is sold by Kaiser-Willys along with other vendors.

Yeah, mine looks like your first and last pictures. My boot has two bad tears so it's history. I'll need the two metal bands that hold it on. Hopefully, I can order all from the same vendor. Thanks for responding. Bill

Midwest Military is the manufacturer of the boot. I have clamps as well.

That's good news John. When did you start producing the Mil T90 shift boot? I have your D18 twin stick boot and it has held up well.

I have had them for almost a year now. Several other dealers buy them from me. This boot will not deteriorate like the others on the market. It is the heavy all design and will stand up for a long time.
