Ken Burton asked just about the same question only a little over 7 years ago. It was an interesting thread. That one started in March of 2015.
Does anybody know if there is a replacement boot for the steering column end of the shift cable?
And
Can it actually be replaced?
Nobody found a suitable part at that time and used parts are so old that they crumble.
Mine is cracked and I really don't want to loose the shift cable.
Any Ideas?

Check motorcycle parts. Boh ends of the front brake cable and the lever end of the clutch cable. There's probably one that will fit.

I never really found a good one. I am trying to remember what I cobbled together to make one work. Now I am going to have to go look. Whattver is was I never had a problem with water and rusting on the bottom end again. I did cover the internal cable with anti-seize. It works well on aircraft brake pins that are exposed to water in the rain or on wet runways, so I tried it there.
