Which FC Short Shifter should I buy?

Hey there

I'm looking to buy a short shifter for my 87 Rx-7 that I just bought. It needs new shift bushings so I figured I mind as well buy a short shifter. The only short shifter for a 2nd gen rx-7 I could find was on www.mazdatrix.com but they mentioned that 1 out of every 3 they make rattle with certain cars and they dont know what causes it.

Does anyone know where I can find more short shifters for 2nd gen's? Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

soul

I read somewhere a guide to make ur own short shifter and it also made that noise... maybe it's the same with all short shifters

mazdaracing has a good one but the price went up I think so i'd say hIGGI is you next best bet.

I use Mazdatrix short shifter...192 bucks.
Works excellent for me, its a bit stiff at first but either it loosened up or I got used to it. Whichever the case I like it.

I have both mazdaspeed and mazdatrix, both are worth it.
