Will manual shift boot fit auto opening?

ChasVS · 02-28-2011, 09:51 PM

I'm thinking of doing the SMG auto shifter update and want to use a MT shift boot to delete the stock AT insert & boot with the PRND lights. I beleive the center console is the same but don't know if there is a separate insert for the MT shift boot that I would need in addition to the boot itself.

Anyone know if this will work?

Yes it will work. I had a standard MT boot for awhile. I now just have a custom set up with the MT boot mounted to the AT plate.

Works fine. Sometimes is a little tight when pulled back to D, but since they're leather or alcantara, it should stretch

Ok so any manual specific 335 boot will work on the auto? What about the boots on the e92 manual m3s? Same part?

Do you guys have a part # for the manual shift boot? I also want to do the SMG shifter retrofit with a MT shift boot to delete the auto baseplate.

I am going to use motivemod.com for the SMG shifter, but wondering if you guys know what part # for the manual boot?

Thanks,
E
