WTB: Lower shift boot on a 83 jetta

[dankcorey22]

Im in need of a good lower shift boot on a 83 jetta i know the earlier ones were different than the 83. Does anyone know where i can get one online or does anyone have one they want to sell me?

Heres a pic to clear things up

are they different for sure?  kind of looks like the one on my 82 same rip and all   has that dish plug underneath.  im in the same boat trying to replace.  i have only heard of a couple of these mk1 in junkyards in the couple years i have been into vw's

My pickup hasn't had one for at least 15 years.  Does it really serve any useful purpose?

keeping all the CRAP out of the back half of your shifter..

im sure your shifter would feel LIKE NEW if you still had the under-car boot..
