“Very fast delivery, less than 24 hours. Fitting was easy - see http://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/forums/t/201.aspx My existing boots were both torn despite low mileage. I may even tackle the cambelt next...”

“Ordered this part on Sunday,arrived Tuesday morning can't beat that for service. Took me less than 30 minutes to fit, noticed the difference straight away. To fit the Lower boot I sprayed a little bit of WD40 & it slid over the gear stick with ease. Thanks again for a excellent service.”

“Had to wait for this kit to come in stock but well worth the wait! Centre console is easy to remove, remember on the Mk2 there is a retaining screw under the electric window switches. Carefully place a small flat headed screwdriver blade at the back of the switches and lever up, I used a small piece if sponge to lever against and prevent damage to the console. After reading reviews on fitting the new boots, in particular the lower one,I was really surprised how easily it slipped on the gear stick with a little bit if grease applied to both. Most fiddly bit is refitting the gear lever into the turret as the nylon bush needs to fit square into the turret at the same time as making sure the ball slots are aligned with the pegs on the housing, having said that it should only take a couple of minutes. I really took my time and completed the task in about 1hr 45 mins, if I had to do it again it would take approx 45 mins. Immediately the gear shift was improved dramatically, much better than I had hoped for! For the time/cost involved and instant improvement gained this has got to be one of the best tasks you can easily perform. Just take your time and savour the improved driving pleasure. I used the planetmx5 link provided by earlier reviewers, easy to follow.”

“Received rapidly, as always, and horrible torn originals replaced in around 30 mins. Gearchange is improved but reduction in heat and noise ingress also really noticeable.”

“Hot gear knob, warm console, noisy- change the gear boot! Get the complete pack of upper and lower boots. Allow a couple of hours for the job. Take your time, don't rush, and be methodical. Unscrew the gearknob. Remove the console (mine is a mk2.5) - two screws either side of tunnel, two inside arm rest and one under the ashtray. Prise the electric window switch plate up with a small pallette knife - Very Carefully, then disconnect the switch. Pull the whole console slightly up and forward to clear the boot release. There will be some insulation wadding on top of the gear boot - set to one side. The upper gear boot can be unbolted (four bolts) and removed (mine was split). The lower gear boot is retained by bolts, before removing these note the position of any marks on the gear lever in order that the gear lever shaft can be put back the same way. Put the lever in neutral, unbolt it and carefully lift out. My lower gear boot was also split. The gearbox turret (seperate from the main gearbox oil) should have had soiled oil in it (mine had none) but if you have some, extract it with a small turkey baster and refil using new gearbox oil. Take off the old lower gear boot by cutting it with a stanley knife. Take off the nylon bush at the bottom of the lever. When refitting the new one, press hard. When refitting the lower gear boot ensure the circular nylon washer is on first before pulling the gear boot onto the shaft (a little grease helps the gear boot on). Refit it into the turret making sure it is in the right way. Refit the upper boot, put it all back together including wadding (refitting of all and console is reverse of removal) and you will notice an improvement in the smoothness of the gear change, the reduced gear and road noise intrusion and no hot gear knob! Wish I had done it long before - just take your time with the job.”

“Arrived promptly, fitted in no time at all on a 2000 6 speed box, now quieter, cooler transmission tunnel and the shift is better.”
