Inner shift boot (rubber)

Hello,

Im having trouble getting into 1st-2nd gear when I have the leather shift boot on as the leather folds inbetween the rubber shift boot and the edge of the plastic. It seems like there is not enough free space without pushing the shifter in hard to bend the rubber. Other gears are fine as theres alot of space inbetween the plastic and shifter.

I've tried lifting and lowering the position of the white ring on the inner shift boot and it makes it slightly better/worse but I havent managed to find the perfect spot yet.

Does anyone know where I can order the inner shift boot (rubber one with the white ring) as mine has a hole in it and alot of noise comes through. Im hoping when I replace the rubber boot it may just fix this issue im having.

Thanks
Chris
