Title: T5 Clutch Fork Boot
Post by: djm3452004 on March 12, 2023, 06:21:13 PM
Hello All--

Had a quick question that maybe someone can shed some light on.

I have been trying to source a T5 Clutch Fork Boot, pictured in the first attachment, as the one I have is torn and rather inflexible, probably an original.
 
The issue I'm running is all the standard Jeep T5 boot replacements that seem to be available, while having the same overall outside dimensions, have different cutouts inside.

On the Eagle, the "A" cutout of the flap of rubber is made, while on all the Jeep replacements available, the "B" cutout is made.  The boot is not meant to be bi-directional as has a "TOP" molded into it, so it's not as simple as just flipping the Jeep boot over.  (Even if one did that, the "B" rubber flap would be pointed in the wrong direction.

Has anyone had any luck sourcing the correct Eagle T5 clutch fork boot, or potentially at least have the correct P/N of the Eagle version for me to try to chase?

Thanks in advance!
David

Correct part number is J3236454.   Unobtanium.    Maybe get the Jeep version, silicone up the flap with black RTV, and cut a new flap in the correct spot??
