Shifter Boot for Hurst Shifter
Does anyone know if this shifter boot fits the hurst shifter that goes in the C5? It looks like you might be able to trim the stock shifter boot/cover thingy out in the middle so that this boot could fit under it (and over the hurst base). Maybe that would seal out some noise?

Don't bother with buying anything new for the Hurst. You shouldn't need it.
I took the existing rubber and carefully trimmed the bottom with a razor and it now fits snug and tight and the noise is almost non-existent.

I just hated hearing the noises. I also noticed another weak spot is where the carpet fits under the dash/shifter plate. I found it when running wires for my new audio/dvd setup.
I'll eventually remove carpet and use the sound deadening stuff on all the floor pans etc.
Lots of work but I've heard it makes a BIG difference.
