short shifter???
hey guys just wanted to know if a stock short shifter from an FC will fit in a
84 GSL-SE 13B

because my friend that has an fc wants to sell me his for 30 bucks and is better to pay 30 than the 150 for the MK1!

miata one works great all it needs is the bushing sanded and some washers.
and it has to be a 1st gen miata short shifter 90-97 i think.

You don't even need the washers. Just grease the main shift ball before placing the shifter in, and tighten down the upper retaining ring as per normal.

The FC short throws will work in the FBs. Keep in mind that the S5s have a different thread pitch for the shifter ****.

The Miata short shifter has the same thread as Miatas (obviously) and the RX-8.
