Searched / RX-8 Shift ****
Hey everyone,
I'm certain I've seen a few threads about this on here before but I searched and I couldn't find anything.
Is anyone using the RX-8 shift **** on their FC? How does it fit? What adapter do you need?
I just bought myself a miata short throw shifter and I want to put the 8 **** on there. So, NOT on my stock shifter.
Anyone know where I can find a writeup or more information on thread size? (Of course I found the s4 and s5 thread sizes in the archives - S4 Shifter: M12 x 1.5 | S5 Shifter: M10 x 1.25) Anyone know the thread size for the miata short throw shifter?
It's the one that Karack used in his writeup. It has the extension and then the fat "super short" shifter.
Cheers,
Cody

In other countries, the RX-8 is offered in both a 5 speed and a 6 speed manual. i.e. the automatic in the states is available as a 5 speed in other countries. I've seen it installed and it looks amazing, but only in pictures and I don't know what is required.

The 5spd's are too hard to find, and WAY too expensive.

Now the question is, what thread size is the miata short throw shift **** I'm buying?
Wouldn't it be stock miata threads? What are the stock miata threads?
Or where could I get an adapter?
Cheers,
Cody
EDIT: Another question (cause I haven't asked enough already ^___^ )
Are FDs the same thread size as s5's?

when i had an s5 an 8 **** would NOT fit. they fit perfect on my 93 i have no idea what the deal is because i hear people saying they fit!
i have a couple rx8 ***** laying around if anyone wants one just pm me. they arent in quite perfect shape, but ill give them out for like 25 shipped.
yeah they are six speeds but it never bothers me because they look and feel great!

He already answered your question. S4 and S5 shifters have different thread patterns.
