Mazdatrix isn't bad, but quite the costly one, but still it comes with new brushings.

Also there is the Miata short shifter conversion that can be had for $60 bucks. Also there is HiGGi (support forum members!).

You almost can't go wrong yo.

mazdatrix here, works great, no vibration or anything and shifts are very crisp and quick. It was very stiff at first, but after about 2 months it broke in better and has been perfect for 3.5 years now.

Pretty spendy but quality is second to none.

I am tempted to try the miata ebay ones. There is a writeup a few days old, try checking for it to see.
