“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.”

“Quick delivery. I've fitted three of these now to various MX5's I've owned. Easy job: Instructions can be found on MX5 Owners Club Forum. Don't forget to put the large nylon/sprung steel washer back on the large balljoint before fitting the lower boot: you won't be able to fit it once the boot is on! Oh, and I've never found it to make any difference to the gear change, even after draining gear box, filling with Mobil synthetic and changing the turret oil. Fitting a heavy gear knob did, though.”

“Bought to replace my tattered OEM boots on my Mk 1. In summary a good set of OEM parts that were a doddle to fit! Made a vast improvement to the levels of noise and heat within the cabin, as well as improving the overall feel and accuracy of my shift, combined with a decent oil in the turret, you can't go wrong!”
