Hey guys what's going on I'm thinking about buying a short shifter for my turboII can anyone tell me what's a good one thanks guys

you can get the generic ebay miata one...i've had one in 2 of my cars and i've had no complaints. they bolt right in and the thread pitch is S5

I would go with an ebay one, but what if you needed to replace the bushings after a few years?

docholiday

the ebay ones are $15. buy another one and you get new bushings.

I didn't realize they were so cheap. Disposable shifters!

ebay ones if you can stand the rattle. mazdatrix for some quality.

its like a step up from Vanilla Ice to Eminem, no comparison

even the mazdatrix ones rattle in some transmissions.

really? hmm, ive had mine for a good 3 years and has been on 2 different cars, seems just fine to me.

docholiday

yeah i know about the rattle...its hit and miss sometimes. i had one in my FB that rattled a tiny bit, didnt even really notice it. Then one in my first FC and it was perfect, no noise or anything. Only reason i have an expensive one now is it came with my new FC. And yeah, i only paid $15 for both my miata ones so you can't go wrong with that.

For the price difference, mazdatrix is a complete waste of money! The miata short shifter does just fine, and i couldn't justify spending anymore on a "shifter".

When you say the "Miata short shifter" do you mean any short shifter meant for a Miata or is it the stock Miata one? And I am going to assume its the NA generation Miata we are referring to, correct?

i think thats the one i got in my s4.. and boy does it rattle.

docholiday

yes...it's the short shifter designed for the miata. only big problem is that the thread pitch is an S5 thread pitch

I like my mazdatrix shifter but can't stand the rattle. I may just make a bushing at work to fix this.
