edekalil Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 What are you using to replace the original wore out shifter boot on your 510 while keeping the original metal part that is screwed to the floor? Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I recently bought a shift boot for a 521 at the local Nissan dealer. Try that. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 There are two 510 rubber shift boots.........round and oval. Here is the round one http://www.ebay.com/itm/DATSUN-BLUEBIRD-510-SSS-SHIFT-BOOT-INNER-NEW-/310318227337?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4840685f89&vxp=mtr#ht_460wt_877 , I've bought from gira777 before., also available from USA sellers, at a l'il higher cost. I don't know if the oval one is available, but do some digging online. If you have a 280ZX 5 speed, then you use this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Shift-Lever-Boot-240Z-280Z-280ZX-1970-1983-Nissan-NEW-/310782028488?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item485c0d6ac8&vxp=mtr#ht_3479wt_877 on the bottom of the shifter, covers the shifter pivot parts. You would still need the larger 510 rubber boot shown above. Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 The one I got at the Nissan dealer is the round one. I think I still have it in the bag, will check the part number later. Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 The 74963-15800 is the round shift boot. Here is a picture for us hard core Ratsun folks. Quote Link to comment

edekalil Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Well I bought a leather shift boot off amazon.com, then I got some pinch welt (that u shaped plastic coated trim put around the inside edge of on older cars door frame to pretty it up) from a friend. I used the pinch welt to hold the leather boot to the metal part that the rubber one was on that screws to the floor of the car. Seemed to work fine. Quote Link to comment

qwik510 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I hear you. I plan to use it on my 72. Also all original. BTW, nice color. Quote Link to comment

henry Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm also looking for the oval one. Unfortunately they are no longer available from the dealer. Any substitutions? Thanks, Henry Quote Link to comment

The oval shift boot is part number - 74963-E6000 Hmmm for '70 and on 510s but I thought they all were round. Looks just like the 720 transfer case shift boot but not as tall. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 My 71 is oval... errrr... was oval I should say Quote Link to comment
henry Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 i bought my existing one from the Nissan dealership and after about a year it started to rip all over the place. i thought that the original part would have lasted a lot longer. i don't shift hard or fast. It's on a 71 wagon/510. Is there suppose to be some sort of a barrier between the trans & the underside of the boot? I'm thinking of perhaps too much heat?? Thanks, Henry Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nah, but rubber deteriorates over time. So if it sat on a dealer shelf for 40 years ... Quote Link to comment

Nissan does offer warranty on its parts, it should last more than 1 year. Quote Link to comment
henry Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not available anymore. Will have to think of something else. Is that just what fits on that vehicle?? Thanks folks, Henry Quote Link to comment
