air comes into my car next to the shifter

89Domindart · April 28th, 2009, 08:33 PM

I need a way to insulate the area aruond the shifter . I was thinking about car audio insulation, to keep that hot air from getting up into the shifter area, and also It would deaden the sound too,no? what do you think would be good for this?

89Domindart · April 28th, 2009, 08:51 PM

ya, thats the stuff, thanks

I just stuffed a hefty garbage bag around the shifter.

89Domindart · April 28th, 2009, 09:41 PM

lol I think Ill look for some dynamat and see how that works.

I think I had some foam padding in there that worked, but Ill try dynamat this time

Yeah i think it would be better to just replace the boot.

I had the same problem on a 86 5.0 i used to have. The hot air blowing into the cab of the car turned out to be a blessing in the winter time cause the car's heater didnt work

^^ haha

thanks for that link, though it doesnt look like it would fit my hurst shifter, ill try dynamat, it may also work good to deaden the sound from the outside too

Yes it will fit a Hurst shifter.

I have a lower boot on mine and the dyno matt. I hate the noise and the heat.

89Domindart · April 29th, 2009, 03:22 PM

I actually think the rubber boot arund it now burns- I smell a bit of rubber sometimes, but I dont know if its that boot or what.
