i was browsing through the local junkyard and found a mid 90s miata and i decided to take a test fit in the seats since i was in the market for nice comfy seats...well..i noticed that miata shifter has the same bolt pattern as the fc...it is also shorter... now my question....does the shifter fit in a 7?....how bout the bushings?...

 

it fits and it makes it a little shorter

 

Interesting! Is it worth while finding a used Miata shifter instead of buying a STS kit for $200. Is the thread the same as the S5 and FD?

 

I have an S5 shifter and a Miata **** in my S4 TII and I LOVE it. Great combo.

 

Has anyone looked into this....I can't convince my gf to take her shifter out..........
