Replacing the Original Shifter Gearbox Cap on a Mazda RX-8 from 2003 to 2012 Requires Attention to Detail and Basic Tools. To Get Started, Gather Essential Equipment Such as a Torx Screwdriver and a Replacement Cap That Matches Your Vehicle's Specifications. Ensure You Choose the Correct Part by Verifying Its Compatibility with Your Mazda RX-8's Make and Model. Next, Locate the Shifter Gearbox Underneath the Dashboard and Release Any Tension on the Shift Lever. This May Involve Removing a Few Screws or Bolts, So Be Prepared to Take Apart Some Components. Now That You Have Access to the Gearbox, You'll Notice a Small Screw Holding the Cap in Place. Use Your Torx Screwdriver to Loosen and Remove This Screw, Then Gently Pull Out the Old Cap. Inspect the Area Where the New Cap Will Sit and Clean It Thoroughly Before Installing the Replacement Part. Make Sure It's Properly Seated and Secure with the Same Screw You Removed Earlier. Reassemble Any Components You Took Apart Earlier, and Replace the Shift Lever to Its Original Position. Test the Gearbox to Ensure Smooth Shifting and a Tight Fit on the New Cap.
