I got mine from Mania. Black Leather can't remember how much though. It looks nice, sits alot lower and has more depth then the original boots/gaiters that like to sit up in a pyramid like action.
When took mine out the rubber boot was totally destroyed and the penny dropped..... so thats the reason theres so much hot air coming from the hole in my shift boot haha

While it's all apart you might as well replace the shift bush and get that \"like new\" shift feel again.
Or upgrade to a metal version like this one from Wheelspin.

Hey Okibi. What's the benefit of a metal shift bush over the plastic one besides longer wearing. Also do you know of anywhere else that will sell them online as I looked at their website and it wasn't great. Thanks in advance

Nope just longer wearing I think, being less flexible than the plastic one it may be a tiny bit more direct but i'm not sure if you'd notice, I was unable to tell because I’ve only ever gone from a worn plastic one to a metal one.
If you want one e-mail

Here's a hint.... it's like the stock one, except different.
I wonder if a stainless steel shift \"bush\" would be better?

Does the shifter 'pop out'?

Pop out of what?

what are the symptoms of needing to replace any of these parts?
also does anyone know the frequency of replacing the turret oil?
