My MX5: Gearbox Turret & Shifter Service

Is your stick a bit floppy? Is it a bit hard to get it in? Chances are you need to service your gearbox shifter turret, and replace the nylon bush on the end of the shifter. There is also a lower shift boot and upper shift boot which wear out over time and need replacing. You'll also need to change the turret oil.
