Replaced shifter seat, is this normal?
I just replaced my shifter seat and have a couple questions for anyone who has done the job before:
1) See the picture attached. Is the wear on whatever is at the bottom of the hole normal?
2) There was a ton of rubber chunks and garbage in there, but also a perfectly intact flat rubber ring. Was the factory seat 2 parts and only one disintegrated?
3) Do the black dust boot things get secured somehow upon reassembly, or do they just kind of flop around underneath the cab?
Thanks!

1. dont know, mine didnt look like that.
2. those chucks are your old shifter seat, take that other rubber "washer" out and throw in a marlin crawler shifter seat.
3. those boots are supposed to be sammiched in between the plate that has 4 screws on it...you arent supposed to pull the boots out of the plate.

I did throw the rubber ring out and put in a marlin seat. So we're on the same page there.
You're saying all 3 rubber boots get sandwiched between the cover plate the tranny hump? I don't think that's how mine was, but I'm not 100% sure.

there was a bushing on the end of the shifter. i replaced that with the marlin one, too. i guess the old one must have worn down enough to allow metal-metal contact.

you got the 2 shifter boots in the cab, then you have the little shifter dust boot cover on the tranny, make sense? min just slipped over the bottom of the shifter but its disintegrated so i need a new one...

There should be little dust boots that slip over the shifter and are held in by pressure. Then you have the bigger rubber shifter boots that get bolted to the floorboard. Then there is the SR5 pleather boots that go over thoes

anyone else have any input on the wear shown in the picture? It looks like this guy has a similar wear pattern:

What part is that, anyway?
