i was wondering if anybody has ever delt with this i removed the sleeve boot and could see under the car .where do i go to get the parts to cover this hole up so exhuast heat aint coming through the shifter boot anymore

 

Vehicle info needed. If your profile info is right, it's an FC...

Mazda dealer or Mazdatrix (http://www.mazdatrix.com/g4.htm).

 

thats correct its a fc.what specs would you like? i have the housing for the shifter and everything.the problem is around that i have to be missing some kind of plate or something cause its just open for me to look at the ground and my exhaust

 

I have the same issue in my car... You for sure need the '86-'92 Middle Boot Kit. (Three boot kit.)



You may or may not need the '81-'95 Inner Boot on Shift Lever. It just depends on the condition it is in.




Be sure to check your 'leather' shift boot (interior) for any tears.

 

dwb87 that looks about what im looking for thanks do you know where i can get those or cost off the top head

 

Click any of the links we gave you.

 

Might as well do a shifter rebuild while your in there... simple and makes a world of difference!

 

FWIW I made a heat-shield of sorts using some under-layment for vinyl flooring I had, some heavy aluminum foil and silicone caulk. Wrapped the foil around the underlayment using the caulk as a binder. Cut it to the pattern of the OEM boot and added holes. Then put my new boot on top. Surprisingly it worked. Maybe a little quieter too. Been there for about 6 or 7 yrs. and still going strong.

 

I had the same problem with my FD it was like an oven inside the cabin.
