How to change boot-shift rod?

Hello from germany,



on my 2002 1.8 Rover 45 the rubber of the boot shift rod (number 2 on this picture : http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/ImagePop...x?i=GRID003571 ) is were perished and already torn.

I would like to change it but have no idea how to. Anyone ever done this or having instructions for me?



Is this a very urgent matter or can i still ignore it for a while?



Many thanks!



Karsten
