Transmission Boot, On Rear Shift Protector Cap, Where to find one? Options

[3d914]

OK, I'm looking for a reasonably priced alternative to the $35.00 Porsche wants for the rear transmission boot - that sits over the end of the shift rod and on the rear shift protector cap.

The CV boots, with the metal cap included are only $10. What gives?

Any ideas on a source?

Many thanks,

Thanks for the replys. Is there a VW counterpart? (Shhhh. I didn't say that) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Honestly, $35 really isn't that much money, esp. for a part you may only replace once during the lifetime of the car. That's less than two tanks of gas these days...

For the side-shift square-ish boot on the side of the gearbox, no, there's no VW equivalent. For the one that's at the firewall, there MAY be a VW part that will work, or can be pressed into service.
