T56 swappers..which lower shift boot to use 3rd gen or 4th gen?

I'm going to do a T56 swap into my auto equiped 92Z. Just wondering which lower boot other swappers have used, 3rd gen or 4th gen boot. Does one fit better than the other? Thanks.

I used a 3rd gen boot...and drilled new bolts for it to mount. It fits barely but thats just because im a terrible cutter. Its air/heat proof though with the silcone around it.

Not sure about 4th gen boots.

I used a 4th gen boot. Thats because thats all I had when I did the swap. That and it is bigger and fits a lil bit better than the T5 one.
