Yes,it will fit,although you have to Sand that Little bushing on the Small ball on the end of the shifter in order to get the Shifter to Go into the transmission's shifter Block.That is the little block inside the hole of where you took the shifter out(look down you will see it).
Suggestion:Important.See Karack's short throw Shifter write up in the sec gen archives,IT will explain all.If I get time,I'll find it and Post it back here.

It's the Miata shifter, which is a shorter throw than our stock FC shifter. But it will still work in the FC
