replacing and cleaning under the shift boot
I've got an 88 Jetta Slalom, and the shift boot (rubber accordian type) is extremely worn out. When cleaning the interior, I pulled up the shift boot to clean in all the creases and saw that a LOT of crud has ended up in there over however many years it's had holes in it (it was already ripped when I bought the car, and it's been a family vehicle - kids, pets - all it's life). I'm talking sand, bits of food, hair, you name it, all mixed in nice with the axle grease. I'm going to replace the boot, but when I do, I want to get it nice and clean in there first. So, what's the proper procedure for that?
Also, would shops have new boots that fit an 88 Jetta? Or am I better off finding something online? Is $20-25 more than I would pay for a new boot in a shop? Anything I should know about replacing the boot?
Many thanks in advance!
