What This Product Does
The boot provides a flexible covering around the shift rod at its position within the body. It is a protective rubber component, rather than a linkage bush, selector mechanism or internal gearbox seal.
Functions
- Covers the shift rod within the body.
- Replaces an aged, damaged or missing rubber sleeve.
- Supports refurbishment of the transmission-control assembly.
Technical Details
- Part reference: 69542492200.
- Material: rubber.
- Installation position: inside the body.
Symptoms of Fault
Inspect the existing rubber for splits, hardening, deformation or missing sections. These are more relevant checks for this boot than general transmission symptoms such as whining, grinding or delayed engagement.
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing deteriorated rubber restores the covering at the shift-rod opening and addresses an age-sensitive component during restoration. Inspect neighbouring linkage components separately: replacing this sleeve should not be treated as a repair for worn bushes, excessive lever movement or internal gearbox faults.
FAQs
Will this resolve difficult gear selection?
Not necessarily. Stiff or imprecise selection requires assessment of the linkage, clutch and transmission; the boot serves a different purpose.
What should I check before selecting it?
Compare reference 69542492200, the original sleeve and the vehicle's production details. The supplied internal diagram identifies this component as item 57.
