The one that acutally holds the shifter to the trans?

I'd replace that, its only about 20 bucks, and it will keep your trans from puking gear oil out through the shifter hole.

Call Mazdatrix and get a new one. It'll stop the leak (which tape won't) and it also stops the hot air from under the car. My shifter is much cooler since I changed mine.
