Hey all Just bought a TF manual and need to know where to get a new Gear boot Baggy thingy as the Bag on mine is completely shagged and ugly as ...

theres a mob on eBay that make genuine leather gear boots to suit quite a few models (Falcons, Commodores etc) they might do Magna ones.

Get a genuine one. They are about $20 to $25 from memory.

genuine spares are only vinyl, but should last a while. Cheap enuf, as stated in prev post - and you can keep the old one for template and plastic parts in case you want a custom one made (the ring at top and plastic frame at base where it screws to underside of console).

Anyone used an aftermarket one E.G one from Supercheap , Repco ETC ???

Why would you bother when the genuine one is only 20 bucks

would a genuine one fit a auto shifter like the ones that trimmer guy did a while back?

Cause my Local Mitsubishi Dealer wont have one and want to charge me an arm and a leg to get one in

They dont charge you more to get one in you know...

My dealer is also keen on high-prices for spares, and craptastic service generally too. However, if they don't order an item especially for me and just add it to the next order - freight charge is much less! They finally volunteered that info for me recently.

I'd be very surprised if any dealer would keep a cosmetic part like that in-stock. Sometimes I'll not buy locally and wait until I make a trip to Newcastle or Sydney, ring ahead and order, collect when in the "big smoke".

Most boots I've seen at SCA etc have been around the $30- mark or more, so has to (hopefully) fit our console, and more expensive to boot (ooh, a pun).
maybe we can save the Aussie economy, one gear-boot at a time - go on, order one!!

I will go and see them tommorrow and report back...

im looking into getting one custom made up, will report back to this thread when i know how much (just for comparison)

I got a custom leather one made and the gear knob recovered to match for $60 each ($120 all up). Made out of seating leather so its heavy duty and won't wear like the crappy factory vinyl which I was sick of.

See for pictures (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45664&highlight=Leather+gear)

$25.80 and a 2 week wait....

I picked one up for around 25 bucks as soon as I bought my TH a few years back. It's still in top condition now.

Just this last week, I removed it from the centre console and cleaned in the crevices properly. It's like a bought one again.

I went for a black momo one that you can get from most places.[

yeah you got done exactly what i want to get done, including the double stitching

Yeah if your Gear shifter has no Numbers then a Diagram Decal of Gear location must be displayed... EG 1976 VW Beetles have Diagram Stickers lol...
