Lower Shifter Boot for TKO600?

I installed a TKO600 trans in my 1970 Mach 1. The car isn't yet ready for the road, but I'm wondering if there's a lower shifter boot option.

I've heard the factory, lower shift boot did a lot of keep out noise and heat. So is there something similar for a TKO? I've searched online and couldn't find anything.

Thanks.

The TKO's already have a shift boot installed on the supplied shifter. I just use the stock 4 speed one for the cabin when I convert my 69 Mach from a auto to a TKO600.

I have not noticed any additional noise or vibration thus far, but my car isn't quite either and I aways drive with the windows down because I have no AC.

Also make sure you use GM Synchromesh, it makes the TKO shifter noticeably better than Mecon ATF
