I was reading a Miata website that they were talking about using these, and we use the (well ya'll now) use the Miata Thread Pattern, I don't see why not, I was thinking about buying one for my now gone RX-7

Probably would work on an S5, doubtful for an S4.

Agreed, I highly doubt it will work on a S4, cos S4's have the crappiest thread size, 12x1.5, almost NOBODY makes a screw on shift **** for that particular thread, sucks. I hate using MOMO universals with the set screws, don't want it to slip off...and I want something more rare than a Razo ****, oh well, so far the best one I've found that like a lot is the Signal CF ****, but haven't tried it yet.

Unless your S4 has a miata short shifter.

Or replace the shifter rod with a S5 one...Then you can use any 90+ Mazda built product shift ****

There are always ways of makin a **** fit..I had a T-type handle that was standard thread ,,it had the adapters,BUT it was Standard thread(e-bay..No metric ones were on sale..).I retapped it to accept Metric thread and Installed it on the Short throw shifter I got.You could always Fab up something by using a tap and Die set up,and make an adapter to fit it.Make the Adapter out of a bolt that would fit into the **** and drill and tap the bolt from the Head down.that way you could tighten the Shifter ****(you could get at the "adapter" with a wrench) and have the Adapter Snug on the shifter and the ****.Hope you get what I'm tryin to Describe to ya.If not,just take a look at the Threaded adapters for B&M T-handles..you'll see what I mean.Best of Luck.
