My Momo ****'s set screws kept loosening up & it would turn on the stick.
So, I just made it a thread on unit.

just get nut that has the right threads and an outer diameter that's close to the inner diameter of the Momo ****..
Dremel down the corners of the nut untill its a tight fit,
then press the nut into the shift ****.
Tighten the allen set screws to hold the nut inplace, then thread it on & see where it stops turning when tightened.
you may have to loosen the setscrews & let the nut turn inside the **** untill stops straight, then re-tighten the set screws.

Just paid $45 for a used 6 spd RX8 shift ****. I know it's a 6 spd and my s5 vert only has 5, but the **** looks SOOOO freaking awesome!

I believe the $200 dollar **** he is talking about is the 5spd **** that has the illuminated shift patern on top. The one on Rotary Performance's site doesn't say anything about it lighting up.



I'm running a stock s5 ****. Its a bit banged up, kinda looks like someone got hungry and tried to eat it at one time. I want a 5spd light up rx8 **** though. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one please PM me!
