COVER TRANSMISSION LEVER RUBBER TYPE
This Shift Lever Boot is the correct shape for the Transmission Gear Shift Lever and is manufactured of the high tech EDPM material which will resist the tearing and cracking which is a problem with original and cheaper reproductions manufactured of natural rubber.
Gear Shift Lever Cover Rubber Type
For T-84 transmission
Rubber cover for the gear shift lever of the T-84 transmission, as originally fitted to early Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps. This rubber boot protects the gearbox against dust and moisture and provides a neat finish to the floor plate around the lever.

- Suitable for both early rubber and late leather version mounting
★ Correct early-type rubber boot as fitted to early production 1941-1942 vehicles, prior to the changeover to leather boots due to wartime rubber shortage.
Application
Willys MB and Ford GPW with T-84 transmission, primarily 1941 to mid-1942 production. From mid/late 1942, this rubber version was replaced by a leather boot (A-3783 leather) due to rubber scarcity during the war. Both types are originally correct for different production periods.
Installation notes
The boot is slid over the gear shift lever and attached to the floor plate with a metal retainer ring. Installation requires unscrewing the gear shift lever knob. The pre-formed holes in the boot must be precisely aligned with the mounting points on the floor plate for a correct seal.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for T-84 transmission (3-speed). Does NOT fit T-90 transmission (CJ-2A and later). Note: the T-84 was used in 1941-1945 Willys MB and Ford GPW. Later CJ models used the T-90 transmission with a different boot configuration.
Historical context
From mid-1942, rubber boots such as the A-3783 were gradually replaced by leather boots due to critical rubber shortage during WWII. The rubber version is characteristic of early wartime production vehicles from 1941 and early 1942.
