If a man found a genie, and the genie granted him a wish; and the man wished that his wish would not be granted, then could the genie grant the wish?

Then the Genie explodes into a cloud of red stuff...

I checked all the sources I used to get mine, sorry but no luck. This has become a rare item - check your local junk yard...

I work in the parts dept of a GM/Hyundai dealer, and I have checked all the older Tiburons that come in the shop, I have yet to find one that has the rubber boot so I can get the VIN to get the part number.
It must have come on the real early ones.

It's actually an aftermarket piece for the Tiburon...Not OEM...

Then maybe that's why I haven't actually seen one in a Tib that comes through the shop, thanks Sid.

Is there something special about a Hyundai Tiburon shift boot that you'd want one for a Mini? I've never seen one but you've got me curious...

If it is what I am thinking it is, you may want to look into the Audi TT shift boot. It is also a rubber layered style boot. I hope this helps. It's a 2002 TT.WTB: Tiburon Shift Boot-2234276_2_full.jpg

I think that MSFITOY guy is to blame (modding genius that he is).

Sid has a true obsession for attention to detail and thinking outside the box. (where's that bowing emoticon when I need it?)

I'm thinking this may be a vacuum that a vendor needs to step into? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller...

DYI project on scale of 1-10 how does this rate?

Pardon the "never done anything like this before" question.
But what are those holes around the lip of the boot for?
And how does one remove the trim ring?
As a DYI project on scale of 1-10 how does this rate?

Thanks again
