Removing shift boot?

The PO of my truck replaced the clutch, but either forgot or didn't want to put the boot gasket back in. As a result, I get a lot of road and engine noise coming up from the boot.

It is just a matter of pulling it up from the floor, or is it fastened down somehow? Just wanted to make sure before tearing it up.

theres a metal ring that goes around it that is screwd down and then there are screws in the boot its self if i remember correctly the shifter should unscrew to make things some what easier
 
Josh is correct. There are 4 screws (one in each corner) of the metal trim ring, and then 4 more between them on the boot itself.
 
Got it, thanks. Ordered a new gasket from the local dealer; $8. PO only had 2 screws holding the boot down anyway, kind of glad I had to pull it up.
 
Just an update to this thread. The original gasket I ordered from the dealer was listed incorrectly in their lookup. The correct part number is 15024604 and was $20.74 wholesale cost. IIRC they list it as an "isolator".

The noise difference in the cab is amazing, definitely worth the $20 and 1/2 hour of my time.
 
It really does doesn't it? There was a night and day difference when i installed mine.

Glad you got it together :thumbsup:
 
thanks for the part number i will be getting a new one seeing as it came out in 2 pieces when took it apart to drop the tranny

Yeah, it's amazing. I installed a 3" straight pipe exhaust at the same time the truck was in the shop; it's quieter now even with the louder exhaust.
