Too bad they don't offer a 5 speed version... Seeing this:
would annoy me to no end, because 6 isnt really there and because the R isn't in the right place.
Would give you something to do with the Automatic shift illumination wiring though.
Code:
1 3 5 R | | | | ------- | | | 2 4 6

not at the moment.. but ill get one for you tomorrow..
in short it a little silver barrel shape with a black leather grip. best fitting gear **** that ive ever felt, and it shortens the throw a fair bit.
and it matches the 5speed shift pattern

Drivers also did the same the the Miata, but I guess Miatas are cheaper then 8's...

EU-spec'd low-power versions come with 5-speed ones aswell, so you can probable even order one from the Mazda-dealer (what you pay extra on the part, you'll safe on the shipping)if you know the part number. Maybe someone must simple ask Mazdatrix about these things.
