im in my fc now..but i've been looking and calling basically every week..to find out if some-one totaled their rx8..so i can put rx8 seats in my fc..i do miss my fb though!

 

alot of fc owners get the rx8 shift **** and fd owners..who cares if it says 6spd..its not like we would forgot we have a 5spd not a 6spd.

 

Ok so I bought one from the ebay store. When I get it, I will put it in my FB (has 82 12a w SE trans) and comment on how it fits.

 

my jspec t2 tranny came with a kit. 1piece with a longer shaft and the same metal ball style as stock

it rattles :[

 

I had a set up like this in my 82, and not have the same thing in my 90. Just get a Miata short THROW shifter, not SHORT shifter. Should drop in with maybe a little shaving of the lower nylon bushing, no trick to it. On the 82 I just used a stock S5 shift ****, on my 90 I have a 5 speed RX-8 ****, but if you get a Miata shifter, any 89 and up **** made for a Mazda will fit.

PS- You can get the RX-8 5 speed **** from Rotary Performance for like 90 bux. Worth it.

Good Luck
