i use a white teflon shift ****, It gets way too hot here in cali for me to use any sort of metal shift **** during the summer. i personally haven't had any problems using an extremely light shift ****, i also have my shifter cut down to almost nothing and i still don't notice a difference. it also only cost 20 bux. most people don't want a white shift **** though

shift ***** are all preference IMO, theres way too many different types you could go with. Can't go wrong with mazdaspeed though. I have the sparco globe **** on my car and I couldn't be happier with it, although I wish it was a little heavier. I'll probably go with a mazdaspeed or an RX8 **** in the future. Heres a pic of a local member's RX7 with the RX8 ****, definitely makes me want one

what shiftboot is that? looks VERY nice!! i wanna change my s4 shiftboot and get either the rx8 shift **** or the mazdaspeed one. are those shift ***** "weighted"?

My 1st RX7 was a '91 S5 and I bought a Mazdatrix short shifter kit for it. Worked great and I loved it. Wrecked it and bought an '87 S4 to replace it. Took the shifter kit out of the '91 and put it in the '87. Worked fine, but rattled dreadfully! Fixed the rattle with a rubber washer below the ball and now it works perfectly, and no rattle.
