No, I do indeed have an auto. As far as the boot is concerned, you can go on eBay and search for shift boots and get pretty much anything generic, and it'll work fine. The problem with generic is 9 times out of 10, it's not real leather, and rather synthetic leather aka vinyl. My boot is made by a company called Ichibahn who makes 100% genuine leather boots in all colors including a carbon fiber designed one. You can get them off of http://www.crutchfield.com in their auto accessories section.
Hope this helps!
