top pic is stock fb shifter
next is stock sa shifter
and last is mazdatrix fb short throw.

though i'd share.

 

cool. which one do you like?

 

i like the mazdatrix but it wont go into the sa.
the sa looks like its got a short throw to it, perhaps to make up for the length and the bendy?

 

i have an SA and the throw is fairly short. by 1980 standards, it was a great shifter. the FB shifter has a better feel. the SA shifter is a neat and nostalgic design that is both functional and acceptable.

 

I don't remember who i got it from but the short shift I use is like the Mazdatrix one, it was made by a forum member.

 

Jorx81@aol.com is the guy that makes them. $80 shipped is his price. I want to get one but I'm soooo strapped for cash.

(you also wouldn't believe how many times I've posted this on the forum. How many people I've referred to him and how many people have actually bought from him I will not know)

 

Will an SA shifter fit into a later model? Also I read that a Miatia shifter will work in our cars. Can anyone confirm? If so they might be a better deal as a short throw Miatia shifter is like $40 on ebay

 

cheap
thats awsome but is it better? than a pre fabbed one

 

i paid full price for my mazdatrix one. i love it. unfortunatly i have a car that the shifter likes to rattle in so its a little annoying at times, but nothing the radio can't drown out.

i won't go back to stock.

additionally, the mazdatrix short throw doesn't have that angled bend rearward that the stock shifter has. 4th is about where neutral used to sit. worth every penny tho.

 

No, different bellhousing.

Just go for one of Jorx. $80 is nothing for a new short throw

 

Jorx shifter is great, I'll be ordering another one for my race car when its completed
