hey guys, is there any cheaper dust boot replacement besides the mazdatrix
its for a 91 s5 n/a

 

I think we have all tried to find one , with no success . 65 dollars isn't too bad in comparison to the time you'll spend trying to find a cheaper replacement

 

There have been guys in the past who make custom ones, find the right supplier/online store and you might get a better price or something different that you want more.

 

You could always go to junk yards and look for a car with a rubber shift boot then cut it to size...I used one out of a old mustang

 

Oh... you mean the rubber under the leather? Sorry, I misunderstood.

 

yeah i meant the rubber part under the leather, a lot of sound comes through so i need to buy one, but 60bucks is a lot for that piece

 

its worth it! makes the difference between driving a POS and a nice car. you'll wonder why you waited so long.

oh you should also replace the little boot on the trans, that leaks, and then the gear oil just eats the $60 boot, and then the vinyl shifter boot.

 

Yeah, I definitely need one as well, was wondering where I can get one, thanks for the info!

 

Just replaced mine. Got the boot and plate that bolts to the top of the shifter rod housing for $26 from the dealer. Reasonable price me thinks.

Also I replaced the upper and lower bushings for the shifter ball. Shifting feels so much better now. About $10 each. Again reasonable.

 

hey guys, i went to the dealership for the first time, i went to the parts section and asked how much is a middle boot the one that prevents sound from going into the car, they said it is 74.36 but if i pay in cash i get a 10 percent discount so 67.36 for the part
is 67.36 a good price tor should i get it online

 

Call ray crowe at malloy mazda in Virginia. He will hook you up with the best price. And never lose his number.

 

I actually ended up ordering one at a local mazda dealer. I don't remember how much I paid (was a year ago) but I know it was considerably less than Mazdatrix.

 

i was hoping it would be less than mazdatrix, i live in the city of Azusa in california, and i went to west covina dealership and they wanted 67 bucks for it

 

I want to say the dealer out here wanted $47 for mine. Could try giving them a call, they may ship...

If this is for the 3 boot set, I would just buy it from your dealer. Remember that your time has some value too. You may also want to get a quote from another nearby dealer and if it's cheaper, tell West Covina to match it. I've done it and 9 times out of ten it works.
