This listing is for a USED OEM Volkswagen shift boot, part number 251 711 115 A, finished in dark brown. This boot fits manual-transmission VW Vanagons and helps seal the shifter opening, keeping dirt, noise, and road grime out of the cabin while cleaning up the look of the interior.
If your current boot is cracked, stiff, torn, or missing altogether (very common), this is the correct factory-style replacement to restore both function and period-correct appearance.
