why would he mean shift when he asked cv? 
They sell quick replacement boots at autozone for under $20.
Depending on how long its been ripped, you really should just replace the entire axle ($50 or so after trade in @ autozone) because dirt may have gotten into the joint = premature wear = dead joint soon = more money and time to do it a second time

CV boot and shift boot are 2 different things. CV boot is part of the axle. Shift boot is part of the shifter.

Re: (DJ_CARY)
replace the axle, changing the boot will follow the same process as changing the axle. Might as well cuz it seems like u are due for an axle change anyways. Hey its just like a timing belt job, While everythings out u may as well change the water pump and crank seal, u do this to avoid future problems.

that's pretty good .. i did it in 20 minutes and i though i was fast.
replacing the boot takes like an hour and you have to (well not have to ... but it would suck) pull the axle out anyway. and i hate dealing with axle grease.
go to napa and get a new one with a lifetime warranty for 60 bucks and be done with it.
