Great work! Especially that firewall grommet...couldn't get that one. As far as the boot on the tranny...I couldn't get it either and that was 6 months ago. I really don't think much could get down there considering the tight fit of the cable housing and the small size of the clip notch. I only have one side of my boot over the clip to keep it from creeping up the housing. If you're really worried about it you could run a piece of bike tube down over the housing and maybe secure it with a zip tie...but I really don't think much will come from not having it closed up. Again...good work...seriously worth the effort, cruise control is smooth as glass now whereas before it was very erratic.
