 Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2024 2:44 pm Post subject: Automatic Transmission Shift Cable Boot |
 |
|
I'm sure that I'm far from alone, but the shift boot on my Automatic Shift Cable has seen better days.
Part # 211713269B
I looked up the part number and did a search but as with many items I came up empty.
Now, this isn't a huge deal to have a good boot here. It works just fine with the crappy boot it has.
I do worry about dirt working in or worse water that freezes and locks the car in gear.
I measured the boot today.
The narrow end is 6mm (.240")
The wide end is 15mm (.588")
The length is about 2" though it my opinion it really doesn't matter too much.
I'm just wondering if anyone has seen boots similar to this on newer cars or maybe in Marine or Aviation applications?
There are a lot of us who see a lot of things.....
Just tossing it out there....... keep your eyes open if you would.
Thanks!
Dave

I've seen a boot for Bicycle brake cables but they look far too short.

That was the first thought I had too and I probably even have one or two in my pile of obsolete bicycle parts. But, in addition to being too short, I suspect the hole is too small since a bike brake cable is only about 1 mm in diameter.
Do let us know how the moto part you ordered works out. My cable boot is essentially a pile of rubber o-rings at this point.

The 78 through 81 911 SC used a similar boot on the clutch cable if this doesn’t pan out.

The boot ends are pretty small. I had to use silicone paste to get them over the Porsche cable and conduit. If they ended up being loose, a couple small tie taps could take up the difference. Just looked very similar and it’s German.

| If you have a pick your own wrecking yard close by, you can just cruise the rows looking for boots off of newer vehicles. |

looks like it will have the range of motion we need on the automatic cable.
thankfully, mine was in nice shape but I was eyeballing this one just in case. I'd be willing to bet it's going to be dam close

did you cancel the poor-shaa booty?
