99 1.2 gear selector gaiter - Tistin

Hello to all. On my 1999 Fiat Punto 1.2 16v I have noticed that were the transmission selector levers are there is a gaiter which helps protect them and keep them lubricated. The gaiter is quite loose and I am unsure whether it should be fastened with a cable tie or hose clip or nothing at all. This area feels quite lubricated but I am also unsure what type or grease it needs. Will cv joint grease be okay or does the area lubricate itself by extracting oil from the gearbox at point of entry. Please help

Mercy be - someone who can spell gaiter properly (in the Queen's English) - I am so delighted I won't make a complaint about the failure to put year and model in the subject line
