82.00 from dealer, 26.83 f/s OEM from eBay...F81Z-7277-AC, inner shift boot. For future reference for us zf guys.
If you remember to REMOVE the shifter before trying to remove the tabs, you won't need this p/n...smh

 

Does this part replace the white rubber boot under the black shroud for the shift lever? The white one on my truck is in need of replacement.

EDIT: I think this is the part that I need...

Nah, just the boot from within the big boot that's exposed in the cabin.
. I replaced the white felt foam before. Still in great shape. However, I did replace the 2 white plastic blocks to minimize the play in the shifter

 

Believe it or not, those plastic bushings don't really wear, not that its a bad idea to replace them while your in there. But, they usually aren't really responsible for play in the shifter. The brass that the shifter block is made from, where those plastic bushings ride, is what wears, along with the pivot pins. The brass is apparently softer then those bushings!

The short throw shifter from MidWest Trans uses steel instead of brass. I have my old shifter somewhere. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic of the wear in the brass.

 

Hmmm, I don't think my truck even has this second little boot. It was probably lost or removed due to the transmission being filled from the top for the past 16 years by the PO.

I will have to get this and the white cover when I purchase the MidWest short shift kit.

Not to spoil the surprise, but Carguy3j might be doing a write up on how to install the MidWest short shift kit and additional parts soon. At the very least he plans to provide the parts list which will make it onto the FTE with him being sited as the source and getting credit for the hard work...

 

Thanks for the mention. I'm working on it. I'll probably get something up over the weekend.
The only problem is I didn't have time to take any pics during the job, so it won't be too exciting, but at least the info will be there.

As for the boot situation, All I saw on mine was the outer black boot, and that white rubber one inside it. I didn't see anything felt or foam. What I have seems to work just fine and keeps it quiet.

 

Here ya go.....

 

It's attached from what looks like a snap ring, under the aluminum plate that's removed when filling from atop.

 

Received today, KS... For comparison only. Will install later today or in morning and post other pics of dismantle/assembly

 

Looking forward to the pictures.

 

Tools used...
T40

Remove 2 torc bolts, then 4 Phillips panned screw. Lift outer boot off. Now, remove 6-6mm bolts, and remove assembly. With assy on workbench use flathead to remove ring to remove the damage boot. Now, install ring into new boot and into with finger pressure. From here, just reinstall everything

 

Here ya go....
