How to change gearstick gaiter on a DTC???
I would like to change the gaiter on my DTC car but cant find them anywere.
So Ive talked to a guy that can get it made for me if he can use my stock one as a sample to make the new one from. But how do I get the gaiter out? In short is it possible to change it? Anyone done it? Thanks |

You mean "DCT" and "gate".
DTC is the traction control on non-M BMWs. As far as I'm aware, no one has ever done this on these forums. That doesn't mean it's not possible, but it would explain why no one's responded.

Oh, if you're just looking to change out your boot, that's relatively easy. Plenty of people have done it, and there are a lot of vendors that sell boot alternatives. Just do a search.

Translation: OP wants to use an alcantara boot on the DCT shifter instead of OEM boot, but wants to know how to change it out.
Search is your friend, use it. Found something that might help: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...light=dct+boot There's probably other threads, but I am at work and don't have time to search when you could simply do it yourself...
