Where can i get a decent short shifter for my 86 rx7? What web site etc

 

man people never search these days.

mazdatrix.com
and hIGGI on the forum also makes them.

 

I put my new short shifter from mazdatrix today, easy to install and very nice to use, great shifter. Almost 200 dollars but in my opinion worth every penny, came with all bushings and gaskets
www.mazdatrix.com

 

I made my short throw-short shifter per the how to in the archives. worked great, plus i chopped it down so your pal rests almost inside of the surround. Very nice, and damn short shifting

 

Or, do what I did...
The rubber bushing in the shifter failed while I was driving, and I ended up having to shift the stub. Just remember.. use something to protect your palm or you will have a nice round bruise from the 2-1, 2-3, 4-3, 4-5 shifts.

 

how much does hiGGi charge/ im not to up on paying a whole pay check on a short shifter, guess i just got used to the cheep parts for my crx.

Will installing the short shifter make everything tighter? Cause right now if i have my stick in nuetral it'll just fall over to the left or right , and i still have the bushings in it(the black rubber thing)

 

Does anyone know if the stock shifter is solid metal or if it has a rubber core for vibration dampening??

 

www.mazdaracing.com i can get 10% off anything on the site for you

 

i hope you get un-used to that.

 

yes the stock shifter has this rubber

I have a C's and it has the rubber dampening and there are no vibrations.

I think where people get a rattling sound is from the insert that goes where the old bushing sat. but that is just my opinion.

later

I have a C's as well, it's pretty much flawless except for the distinct lack of thread n ***** out there for it. If you do get a C's make sure you order the right year, thier is an S4 and an S5 version, different part #'s..

 

Higgi or mazdatrix , I use a mazdatrix but I hear higgi's are just as good. He's been on the boards a long time and is trustworthy.

 

Sorry, the shifter bushings are not "black rubber".
They are either transluscent white or dark blue.
They are very hard plastic - nylon?

Should look like this....

Well maybe i said the wrong thing, not bushings but sound damper maybe? it's black looking and it looks like a cylinder going around the shiftknob on the bottom before hitting the tranny. But oh well i'll just buy this shifter and clean it all up.

 

hes talking about the black rubber stuff thats between the shifter and the stick. You wouldn't generally see it unless you tried to completely dissasemble the shifter. I can't remember if its an s5 only thing though?

 

I have the C's Short Shifter and it is Very nice piece very short stroke good control, make the shifter a little stiffer, and I have no vibrations or noise from it whatsoever.
you can get one pretty cheap here,
