I have an S5 Engine/tranny swapped into my 88 t2 and the **** from my S4 is to big now. The **** I used on my 88 was from my 90 celica and it fit nice and low and looked freash but now it doesn't fit. The swap is from J-pan and I was wondering if all S5 trannys are like this?

-Thanks, Dustin.

 

i dono which is smaller but yes s4 and s5 have a different size shifter thread..

 

S5 has a smaller thread size than an S4 ****, yes.

 

They make plastic adapters that you can insert into the **** and use on the S5 tranny.

 

swap the whole shifter if you want to keep the ****, or get those spacers like 90whiteVrt said. i never liked those spacers but oh well.

good luck, have fun

 

S4 Shifter: M12 x 1.5

S5 Shifter: M10 x 1.25

is it just that they have a differant thread or is it that the shifter is skinier(sp) as well?

 

Remember the Miatas (NA/NB/NC), FD and FE all use the same smaller **** size as the S5 shifter.

 

could get a universal type with set screws........but theyre easy to make loose after 3 or 4 hard pulls through the gears....stupid momo

 

Get a Miata short throw shifter, cuts your shift lag down by alot easy to install youself amd there alot cheaper than buying a "rx7" shifter..

 

haha shift lag....

 

lol, down shift at 4500rpm? (sarcasm) i might try that.....

 

cool, thanks! I traided someone some 680cc injectors for a short shifter they said was for an s4 and it came in and the shifter itself was much skinnier than the s4 and of course would not let me screw the s4 shifter on it. So now I order the fd jspec shifter witch I think is hot
