congratulations on the successful swap. that sure is a good feeling when you start her up, push in the clutch and she goes into gear, and each shift is smooth, and everything works. She should be a totally different car by the way she feels and drives.

I hope that rubber shift boot is better than the one I ordered. When cold, it was like a piece of Tupper Ware. Dang thing was stiff, made shifting harder and the thing would not stay under the edge of the shroud.

I found a black leather shift boot from a 95 Saab Convertible. (actually my wife found it, yes she goes to PNP with me....sometimes ) There is a plastic piece that snaps into the Saab Shroud. used that piece and modified the 240D plastic one used on the 80 240. Used some black shoe polish and it looks pretty good.
