    I have done a sr20 conversion and needed to cut a bit of my gearbox tunnel where the shifter sits and all the noises come through and piss me off... where can I get a custom boot made??? or how can I fix this problem and get rid of the noise???

    I have put some thick rubber around the top of the gearbox and some sound deading but the noise still comes through.. any ideas???

    Weld some plates in there where there is a large hole. Then get any shifter boot and screw it down under the shifter console?

    Use silicon or sound deadner to kill the sound.

    I have never seen a place that does custom ones.

    For putting a Nissan engine into a Sprinter, you deserve all the noise :lol:

    Suffer in your jocks.

    Seriously, I think welding in a section is the only option to fix it properly. Can you use the section you cut out, then install the original boot?

    You need some metal welded in to close up the gap and sound deadening. Even if you put on some of that stick on sheet stuff.

    do this



    thats for a CA box

    I'm making a few for some fellow CA conversionists, if the SR box is the same deal I could make you one.

    I then screwed the stock 86 boot into place, it looks so factory it's not funny, thats in a 70 but it's the same deal.

    Sounds like it. It is like the stuff stuck on to the inside of the floor pan.
