Is my shifter stock or not?
I bought a 88 rx7 for the motor and trans for my 510 and i was told the shifter was a racing shifter or something? he didn't really know what it was but it had a lot of play in it so i took it out and there was bushings missing from it. well i got some from my friends old trans. its very tight and works good now. but i wanted to know if it is stock or a short shifter. how far is the throw from 1st too 2nd with a stock shifter?

the only way that you can "really tell" is to Pull the Shifter from the Trans.If the shifter ball at the bottom is about an inch and a half from the bigger Pivot Ball,and there is an Extra Collar where the pivot pin is,and sitting on top of the Transmission,Then you have an Aftermarket shifter.You could always take a look and compare them on Mazdtrix's Website Or Ebay..Also some of the Aftermarkets are Two piece.There is a One piece aftermarket shifter out there.I can't recall the place to get it though.(and I was going to get it too!..Damn!)
