    Does anyone know where I can purchase a clutch fork boot for a 1971 V6?

    Have you looked at Krage's? Not sure where I picked mine up but it only lasted 1 weekend.

    I picked up one for my 66 CJ5 from 4WD.com

    Instead of shopping online, I recommend calling their 1800 number and talking to one of their customer service techs. I have found if you ask them, they will hunt down a part that may be difficult to find in their catalog or on their website.

    You could also try Kaiser Willys Auto Supply (1-888-648-4923)

    good luck.

    jzeber , What happened to it that caused it to last only one weekend ? Poor quality or perhaps trail damage ? Just curious , because I could use a new one too.

    All the ones I've seen are for a 72 and up. Will they still fit a 71?

    I picked up the rubber boot at NAPA - it wasn't listed for the vehicle but fits fairly well.

    I got mine some years ago from a place called Backcountry 4x4... their link is no longer valid, maybe they folded...
    Anyway, measure your opening in the bell before you order. IIRC, there are two different sizes for the V6 bell opening. Be sure you are getting the right one.

    (seems they were 2x3 and 4x3... or something like that... enough of a difference that one doesn't fit the other.)

    i picked one up on ebay about 2 years ago. i did a search for clutch fork boots and went into the buy it now section. there where quite a few listed and most listed sizes. i belive the one i bought was listed for a chevy nova, it was well made and fit fine. i think i payed 15.00 + shipping..
