We took our old one into car quest and they found one that is a CV boot that worked pretty well but can't remember which car it fit.
That sounds like a good idea. I need one for my 9u D6 shifter. Thanks for the info Jason👍
I replaced the boot on my D4 7U a year ago and Cat didn't have any problem finding 'em. My advice would be to go to the oldest parts guy and have him look it up. As I recall, price for the boot was around $25 at the time. I just looked at my parts book Form UE032504 and the most common number for the boot is 8F8079.
Cat still has them. Just got one for $41.12. part number is 8F8079.
Make sure the rest of the mechanism is OK beneath the boot, not rusted out. Cheers, Larry.
Here is a whole list of places to get them

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
