Gear Shift Boots

A gear shift boot is the “dust cover” on the shift lever under the knob: it protects the shifter mechanism from dust and crumbs and refreshes the look of the center console. The category includes 300+ vehicle-specific boots — sold отдельно, as a set with a shift knob, with a frame, plus handbrake boots and decorative hoodie-style covers. Options are available in genuine leather and faux leather for Volkswagen, Opel, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford, Fiat, Skoda, ВАЗ and other brands.

What gear shift boots are available

How to choose the right gear shift boot

• Manual or automatic. Automatic transmissions have dedicated products — for example, a knob and boot for Mercedes C-Class W204 and E-Class Coupe C207; they won’t fit manual versions.
• Number of gears. “5-speed” and “6-speed” in the title mean a 5- or 6-speed gearbox: the pattern on the knob and the fit are different.
• Frame. A boot without a frame mounts to the factory frame in the console, so it must be intact. If the factory frame is broken, choose a version with a frame.
• Engine and trim. For Mercedes Vito W447 there are separate items for vehicles with a Mercedes engine and with a Renault engine; for W210 — for different interior trims (Classic, Elegance, Avantgarde, AMG).
• OEM number. If the title includes a number (for example, 735424356 for Fiat Doblo), match it to your original part.

How the boot is installed and what a hoodie cover is

Vehicle-specific boots install into the factory mounting points: they attach to the frame, and the included frame usually clips into the console. To replace the boot, the shift knob often needs to be removed, so it’s convenient to change them together. The frame’s plastic clips are fragile — remove them carefully. A hoodie cover is a decorative “hoodie” that slips over the shift knob or over an existing boot; it’s universal and comes in different colors.
