Default Hurst shifter noise...inner boot??

Previous thread, re stiff, takes a little getting used to.. really precise on track, love the 3-2 shift.

The driveline noise increase is dramatic, has anyone got a solution to fitting the inner boot a little better? Tried the reverse (method 1 in the instructions) quite a gap, prefer not to cut it.

Maybe a little silicone ? Additonal gasket rubber?? Ant ideas or previous solutions?

Thanks

Some guys have used a tennis ball, cut in half and slipped over the shaft. Also, the stock **** is prone to rattle; I used a Momo & had virtually no driveline noise.

Another way is to buy a 2" rubber pipe cap and drill a 5/8" hole in it.
