Hi, just curious if the MS short shifter needs a special (rubber) boot, or if the stock shift boot works.

Being that the shifter is discontinued, I am hoping the, or a, proper boot is not.

Thanks,

 

Yea the small rubber boot is the same. Check this thread, there is an alternative part number for a miata boot that is cheaper but almost identical.

and pay attention to the last post in that thread.

 

The Mazdaspeed shifters and most of the replicas use the stock boot.

 

awesome thanks for the info and the link---
turns out my lower boot is torn so I will need to get that Miata part!

I think I will do a full replace when i install...

Do I also need the plastic bushing that fit around the ball, as in (upper left):



or only the four bushings that are in this kit:
