Clutch boot ???
Well I am learning ....
I remembered in the picture you guys sent me to for the clutch bolts, it also showed the bellhousing.
Went to the picture and sure enough there was the clutch fork boot # 7513
So I search it ... turns out there are a lot with that number .. but finally got the full number .... E4TZ-7513-A (I think this is right).
So, started searching ... first the usual .... Rock Auto, Amazon, Advanced, Autozone ... then Ebay ... then RearCounter and PartsVoice
I am getting nothing! On the Ford sites, it just says discontinued.
With so many of these out there, I figured someone must be making them?
Any suggestions?

The boot goes by the transmission so what one do you have?
If a T18 good luck as I could not find one.

There is only one listed for all transmission I think. Just where the clutch forks go into the bell housing.
I have a 435 4 speed.
Mine is still there but after 33 years, I know it could use a new one ... just trying to keep all the crap out of the bell housing.
All the listings seem to stop at 1982 ... and I have a 1986
I was hoping someone was manufacturing new ones.

I bought a new one a few months back for my 1996 M5.
It was in Ford packaging, but a Mazda part.

There is not 1 fits all but all you can get is 1 and they don't list what it fits IIRC.
I say this because I bought one think thru Dennis Carpenter and it doesn't fit my T18 bell.

I've been trying to find one for several years (1983 mech. linkage truck), but can only find the one mentioned. Finally I bought two of those, trimmed both & super-glued them together at 90 degrees to each other to get a fit of sorts......not ideal but what do you do?
Like the OP said, "with so many of these out there"...........?

Great idea!
May try glue ... or even glue and a few screws like a CV joint.
Thanks!

To get a complete join, I added a couple of pieces of o-ring material when I glued it together.

With the following part number, the type of M/T makes no difference.
E4TZ-7513-A .. Clutch Release Lever Dust Shield / Obsolete
1984/89 F150/350, Bronco & Econoline.
No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any, none on ebay.
Upper/Lower pics: See
7513 for other 1980/89 dust shields...
1983/87 6.9L & 7.5L with T-19 is different
