Shift ****...anyone seen this before?

2 pictures attached of a shift **** I have. Fits my C's Short Shifter and cant find any information on it...Fits perfectly with the shift boot and has mazda on the box. Is it worth anything? Does this company make anything else?

Heard and seen some shifters resembling something similar designed to only let you go up in gear and have a toggle release for down shifting and street driving when assembled and properly installed they are similar looking to the STi shift **** which from factory has the retractable cup below the ****. Really only necessary if you're gonna be drag racing; probably not a wise choice for a daily or drifting.

Yeah nothing too special about it...Was the only decent 12x1.5 threaded **** I could find (S4 shifter size). Definitely none of the perks above ^^^

My C's shifter was actually at one time a 12x1.5..
What I did was take it to a Machinist and have him make the Thread pattern on top smaller,buy milling down the shaft and re-doing the Threads.
I now have an S5 patterned C's shifter!.
I find that you can get alot of choices of aftermarket shifter of that thread pattern.

Thats a pretty good idea actually! Lots more choices in the S5 thread size. I got the shifter for free so cant complain either way
