Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 So, I just got my new transfer case boot from Rob. Right part, quick shipping, all good there. I decided to install it today. I've got the bolts in right, but I wasn't sure how far down the shaft I should push the bit with the hole. The shaft tapers towards the bottom, and then notches to very narrow on the way down to the case. I pushed it all the way past the notch, but suspect I did it wrong, as the rubber has to deform quite a bit for 2H, and I can't actually get it back far enough for 4LO. Does it just need to break in, or am I doing it wrong? Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle94 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmmm... I'm not sure I have that boot!? Lol. Is this auto or manual trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Auto. I might be overthinking this one... I've been known to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmmm. How much did you pay for that? If you don't mind me asking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 $26.21 plus shipping. Part number's in the Factory Nissan Parts thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Glad it got there, you jumped right in on that fast. I have always thought it amazing how much heat comes up through there when the rubber boot is torn, great in winter, not so good in the summer! When I did mine about 2 years ago, IIRC correctly I had the part that goes around the shifter level with the rest of the boot, before the lever notches down. From the picture above I think you need it to come up about 1 inch. PART NUMBER: 74965-80G00 INSULATOR, TRANS HOLE $26.21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 what about the leather (interior) "pretty" boot? for auto matic 1994... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 LOL yeah, first time I drove after removing what was left of the old one, it just about took the hair off my leg! I'll try moving it up an inch, that sounds rational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Not only heat, but also sound! It's worse than driving with all the windows down. I have mine down about that far, and reaches all the gears. since it's new rubber it's pretty pliable. the boots tear because as they age they get brittle, and getting in to 4-lo is a bit of a stretch....

adamzan Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 what about the leather (interior) "pretty" boot? for auto matic 1994... Kyle your truck has both boots, the rubber one is under the leather one. My leather one on my gray 95 was torn for years but since I replaced the rubber boot it was still quiet.

Slartibartfast Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 My dad saw me messing with it and suggested just pulling it up like the boot in his stick-shift Triumph. So we did. Seems to work better. I got the trim boot back in... nice to have this back together after six months! Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I need both. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Well, update three years later... apparently how I showed above is not a good way to do it. I went to swap the boot into my '93 and it's torn again, with a little dryness/stress cracking here and there as well. I'm not sure I want to drop another $30 + shipping right now. Anyone found a redneck home replacement for this part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I went to the jy and robbed one out of an xterra. They have a strange setup. First the same boot as the wd21, then a thinner rubber one, then the leather one. I took it all and now my truck is much quieter inside.

adamzan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I had to make new holes in it because the bolts didn't line up and it is a little pinched as it is larger, but it works fine. Having 2 boots makes a big difference in the sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
