[DML] Re: DMCH's shifter boot early wear/tear ?

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stephen,

I've noticed this on certain cars, not in particular to DMCH's shift 
boots, but on cars where it appears the clearance between the 
shifter and the metal ring is different by a few tenths of an inch. 
Some cars rub and wear holes in ANY shift boot, and some where the 
clearances are larger, never wear the boots out.

This is just a little oddity I've noticed after trying out over 25 
cars by noticing the slight differences in clearance from the edges 
in reverse & 5th. Some are fine, some cut it close. When it is a 
clearance issue, the manufacturer of the shift boot doesn't matter, 
either it'll rub or it won't.

Hope this helped dispell any faulty shift boot rumors.
