BTW, Over the weekend, I drove an absolutely mint condition, well prepared, 1985 GS with a 12A, Dell'Orto, Headers, Direct Fire, MSD, Tokicos, Panasports, Sway Bars, all the bolt ons, yada, yada, yada - And a Mazdatrix Short Shifter .
My Impressions:
1) Damn! This car (stock port 12A) is easily the strongest and fastest 12A I have ever had the pleasure of driving. I know it would beat my 100% stock GSL-SE without a problem. This thing pulled hard as hell.
2) Damn! That Mazdatrix short shifter sucks! That thing is like a Nintendo joystick. Literally less than two inches to switch from gear to gear. If your not careful, You can go from 3 to 5 without a problem.
The owner (real nice guy), told me it takes some getting used to, and it took him about a week. I don't know if this helped anybody, but it made me realize that I like the stock shifter, especially for Drag Racing.
Just my 02 cents.
If it's just shift boots you're after, Larry, Bill Telotte makes a nice one available at http://www.wigglepup.com/RX-7/feature_shifterboot.php
