Hey everyone...

just picked up a 5spd RS 1.0 xD last week and the rubber shift boot is not working too well for me... collecting lint and doesn't look too nice...

I was wondering if someone had changed it b4...

 

Oh, how do you look the RS1?! Mine is on order and should arrive in a few days. I'm excited!

I might want to change my shift boot too, so I can't wait to read the answer to your question!

 

its awesome! but having linty shift boot doesn't cut it for me...lol

RS1 is awesome... u will like it

 

Thanks krazyscion! I'm totally stoked! Blah on linty shift boots! ;)

 

Seems like there is a market for leather boots - and no one has found a solution

I'm hoping another thread which I bumped will provide more insight on this provider:

Anyone found a solution???

 

I have a momo shift boot sitting around. Looking at the xD's boot, it doesn't seem very difficult to change, when I have time I will get around to documenting it.

 

Thank you!
coincidence.. I emailed this website:
http://www.everything4scion.com/inte...omo-c-297.html

and asked them about the momo boots and if they would fit the xD or not. we'll see what they say - hopefully it's a yes, or a "yes, with a little more work".

 

I have boots from www.redlinegoods.com. I recieved them Saturday and installed yesterday morning. I'll be writing a DIY to install them as well.

 

SWEET!!!

They don't make it for the xD, but they offer a free shift boot if "If your boot isn't listed in our store, we'll give it to you free!"

They post on here, I bought a boot from them a while back and love it.

 

 

Super tempting - you have to send them your shift boot and e-brake covers if you want the free ones...

 

i made my own. went to autozone and bought one of the 10 dollars "leather" boots just to mess around with it

heres what you do. first unscrew the shift **** (so you can take off the boot)

second: get your fingers under the little base cover (color coded with the rest of the center panel)

pull it all up. the rubber shift boot has slots cut out where the shifter base clips over it.

if you do what i did, and just buy a generic boot, simply place the bottom of your boot in the same position as it would sit in your car, then poke holes where the extensions are at the bottom of the base. with these holes, make slight cuts so that the boot slips over the extensions,

reverse entire procedure, and enjoy your new shift boot!!

 

I bought one from Redline as well in the black carbon fiber fabric. I haven't had a chance to put it on just yet, but it looks pretty nice.

 

yea i bought one from redlingoods for my tC and am waiting for them to come in...

i wanna c how it is b4 i buy more for the xD

I actually took the offer for the free shift boot. I just received it in the mail two days ago but have yet to install it. hoping it will fit right. it looks a little short. ill post pics

go here and see the Boot. I got one for the e-brake too. The workmanship is good, and it REALLY makes the loosk like a fine motorvehicle should!

The Yaris has the same specs as the XD

I'm really happy with mine. I got black with blue stitching, and got one that's 2 inches longer than the suggested "stock" one that they make.

 

WOW. that's how mine looks right now. Momo shift **** and everything...hahah pretty cool. but ill be putting on my shift styles boot soon (if i stop feeling like utter crap due to this flu)

oh and my shift styles is black with red stitching ...looks like were NEMESIS'S'S'S'S'S'S'S''S'S'SS'!!! haha jk jk
