That is a stock RX-8 shift ****, that's exactly what it looks like, only they are for a 5-speed instead of a 6-speed.

Yes, the RX-8 came in a 5-Speed MTX in Japan, and yes the ones we sell are Mazda OEM, not knockoffs.

They run about $119 if I remember correctly... I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm at the shop.

PM me and I might be able to hook you up with free shipping if you aren't too far away

It is a lot, but these things are heaaavvvyy. They're really well made. Mazda doesn't screw around when it comes to expensive OEM stuff.

Proooobably, I'll check into that.


Edit: Yes I can! They are slightly more expensive though... But they also come in Red, Tan, and Black.

I should do a group buy on these...

Alright! Alright! I found a pic of the 5spd one for you guys!


The illuminated one looks exactly like this only the numbers and lines in the middle light up.


EDIT: Also, I forgot to address this before, but no, it will not fit an S4 shifter.

Yes. Standard M10 thread size. The Series 4 use a large ~M12 thread so they're too big for the ****.

I believe so... Most short shifter kits that I have seen (MazdaSpeed I know for sure) use the S5 M10 thread pitch. They used the same thread on the S5 FC, FD and RX8.

you could turn down the s4 on a lathe and then run it thru a dye. or you could just swap in a s5 shifter lever...

[B]sorry guys, i havnt been on the computer lately and it seems my digi cam is broken! ha!...ill use a picture with my cellphone...it does look awesome though and its weighted so theres like more force in every shift if you shift hard...i love it looking 6 speed though, i tell everyone around here with thier hondas and acuras that i have full rx8 swap haha...uhmm i bought the thing for $50 off of ebay...got lucky....i think they retail at like 200 or something straight from Mazda...it wouldnt fit at first but i did some things and it eventually went around the shifter LOVE it now..

I don't know exactly...

It shouldn't be much more than the non-lighted ones though. I have to wait until they show up to know how much they'll be.
