NV3500 swap. How are your shifter boots setup?

Sutcavage · Aug 18, 2019

Recently swapped an NV3500 in. What is everyone doing for shifter boots? I’d like to go with a square / rectangle rubber boot. Unfortunately all the ones I’m seeing online for the transmission are massive and would interfere with the shifter boot for the transfer case. All pictures would be appreciated. Attached are pictures of what I am working with.

Thanks,
Paul

I found a generic small one online and used it. Works great.

I went with JB Fabs twin sticks and their boot with openings for all three sticks - it covers the openings for the TC and the NV 3550 .

I went with this because I wanted rubber. Its a Scott Drake Mustang one from summit. Fits well on my B&M short throw shift tower. Probably wouldn’t cover the rectangular post on the stock shifter though.

I used the big tranny shifter boot that came with the NV3550 kit, and the twin stick boot from Toms. I made the black trim ring from an old aluminum stop sign. I cut it out with a portable saber saw.

Before I went with twin sticks I did a setup similar to Blubuckaroos' ; used a big and a smaller boot and overlapped them .

(NV3550 actually. The NV3500 has an integral bellhousing for a Chevy motor)

For my NV3550 I used a trans shifter boot off (I think) a '60s vintage F-series that I got from (I think) LMC. I'll look it up when I get home and add the correct details. Edit: the trans boot is actually from Bronco Graveyard, part number 26036A, for a '73 - '76 F-series.

I have an Atlas with twin sticks. I used two single boots that (I think) I got from Wild Horses. Edit: I had this right. Wild Horses 8562 single stick shifter boot.

I am pretty sure this is the one I used. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/crown-automotive-shifter-boot-5752141/_/R-BKMN-5752141
