Mazda trix short shifter
I'm planning to switch out the stock shifter with the mazdatrix short shifter. Than replacing the shift boot, and shift **** with an FD's. It should look alot better than the current setup. But I was wondering how easy of an installation is it? Does it require taking off the stereo surround? How about the FD shift ****, should it fit without much work? Also, does the mazdatrix short shifter cause any vibration at all? Thanks.

Check out Mazdatrix's site. They have a video on how to install with directions, takes 15 minutes at the most I think. They also say that there is a chance it will vibrate/rattle not because of the shifter but it depends on your car. You do not need to move the stereo surround.

It's very easy and the fd **** just screws on. If you do it be warned that it will feel VERY tight for the first 100 or 200 shifts but after a while it will break in and be very quick and smooth.

All I'm worried about is the vibration, not the installation. But I'm going to use the FD **** instead because it looks a hella lot better. Thanks guys.

the mazdatrix shifters come with the bushings, too, right? My stock shifter with stock bushings are shot, and it's sloppy as hell. If the short shifter comes with all the bushings (which look to cost almost $100), then I'll be getting one soon.

mazdatrix shifters are really nice..i have it in my TII and love it!...yes they come with bushings..make sure you have some tranny fluids because you will need to add some before you drop in the new shifter..
