Anybody know where I can find the rubber tail boot (kind of cone shaped) for a 59 Edsel 2 speed Mile-O-Matic.  This transmission is suppose to be identical to the Ford version Ford-O-Matic.  I've checked all the online Ford/Edsel parts places and have not seem it in diagrams or parts lists.

The old one fell apart in my hands as I was removing the drive shaft.

John, i dont believe they are necessary, no autos today use that type of boot. Smile

I'm just trying to keep it original.  It might protect the rear seal from outside dirt.

NAPA used to have a rear seal with a boot and dust shield built as a unit.  Haven't looked for one lately though.

CASCO (Tbird parts) shows the rubber boot at the end of the trans. Part # 77651, 18.39.

Thanks!  With the part number I have found it new several places.
