Dorman (short) vs OEM (tall) Shifter Turret Lower Boot w/ Pics!
Wow. I had a nice two write up explaining this, then the forum deleted all of it when I went to upload the picture. So....here’s a picture of the OEM lower boot vs the lower boot from the Dorman kit on Amazon.
This is on my 1994.
The Dorman is not a tight seal and it’s super short.

The two are side by side in the first picture.
It's pretty clear how much shorter the Dorman one is.
as for where it's not tight, by the looks of it the Dorman one tries to seal against the straight shaft section instead of the bulge up top that the OEM one seals against (which is exactly why the bulge is there)
