Received my Sunbeam Tiger boot yesterday and it is far, far better than the one that came with my car - 100% improvement. It's not nearly as stiff. I went ahead and installed it to try it out. I still get a little pull back on the stick when I place it in 3rd but not as much as with the stock boot. With the vinyl boot I don't get any pull back. I took it for a short test drive and didn't have any problems with staying in 3rd gear - but it didn't kick out very often so I don't know that this is complete vindication. I think I will stick with it until I have an instance of kicking out of 3rd and if I do, then I will reinstall the sewn vinyl boot.
