“Good delivery and service from MX5parts but only made a small change to the gear shift. Still notchy going from 1st to 2nd but at least I have nice new shiny shift boots!”

“My son was complaining about the gearbox baulking between secong & third, so having read some forums I came to the conclusion that new boots where needed. Usual great delivery service from Mx5 spares, so as well as carrying out a service on a nice week end I changed these units.Best advice use this link if you are not sure as to what you are doing (which I was not) www.planetmx5.com/shift_boots its great. The gear change is now like a rifle bolt as the old units where very,very worn out and split.”

“Both my boots where worn through. I was glad I read the previous reviews before I tried to fit these - sound advice where no instructions are included. My gear change is still a little notchy so don't expect miracles but it's definately smoother and the road noise is reduced quite significantly.Getting the old nylon cup off the ball of the gearstick was a task but I found a pair of pincers and some care did the job.”

“Not so hard to fit.It'll transform the feel of the gear change as the car's original boots tend to desintegrate after a few years.Reasonable price.”

“Makes changing gear a pleasure again!!!! As others have said lubricate the shaft. And the nylon cup is best cut off. if you notice that either boot is split don`t hesitate to replace.YOU WILL NOTICE THE CHANGE (no pun intended)!!!!”

“Got this on the recent special offer - worth every penny even at full price. Really easy job (if you can wade through the sea of potential innuendo involved), only real pitfall is making sure you've put the nylon/metal washer back on the gearstick before installing the lower boot. I realised *before* it was too late. Oh, and make a note of which way the bend in the gearstick goes before you remove it.My '98 with 74k had two completely shot boots, and I extracted about 30ml of black, sludgey oil from the turret. The gearshift is noticeably improved - less notchy going into 3rd in particular. However, what I can't get over is how much quieter the car is on the road. Perhaps not so surprising given that once the centre console was off, I could see the road through what was left of the upper boot! Having also put some lithium grease on the clutch release fork (where the slave cylinder operates against it), which cured the annoying squeak I had when the clutch was up, driving with the roof up is now far more pleasant.As others have said, it's 5 screws to get the console off, definitely worth spending the 5 minutes to check what state the boots are in.”
