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?

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

ship me one..
