Hey guys....

Who of you does have short-throw shift kit ?

Which brand? How much u paid for it ?

How u like it ? Anything on it u would want have changed ?

Those of you who don't have it, would u want to buy one ? How much is good price for you ?

I'm able to make some kits cheap, just want to see some interest ) (don't get scared by my location, im able to get them to USA, no worry

 

I've got a C's short shifter. I like it a lot, but the only thing I would change is the actual height of it. It's the same height as the stock shifter, which is too tall in my opinion. I think about a 1" drop from stock combined with a short throw would be perfect.

I bought mine used (barely, I might add) from Japan for ~$80 shipped :-D

 

Actually i have been looking for a kit in the 100-150 price range. But i want the actual short throw not just a shortened handle. Im sure if you could come in at that price range you would sell a ton of them.

 

Although 80 bucks sounds like a excellent price!! Sheit i wolda bought 2 for that price (in case i get another fc)

 

knight1976 > i`m looking at selling them for around $150, it IS real short-throw, height is like stock one stock, but threaded handle is longer, so u could easy cut it to have it shorter if u want not only short-trow, but shorter handle too....

 

Will it come with bushings? When you think you are going to have some to sell?

 

The C's is a short throw. I'd just like it to be a little shorter physically.

 

I kept my stock shifter, put a shift **** from an 87 Camaro on it... Made it two inches shorter, shifts perfect, and the **** was 40 bucks brand new at the dealer. There are pics of it on this forum.

 

Link?? Id like to see what it looks like......

 

a shorter shifter doesnt mean a shorter shift.... the C's shifter is actually taller but the only part taller is the nipple on the bottom...it is also tilted forward equating to a longer throw making it a shorter shift...

 

I totally understand what you guys have said.

So which short shifter is a "true" short shifter? I'm asking because I'm in the market for one.

 

here is picture of stock on side of true short-throw shifter kit :

 

its suppose to have slighty quicker gear changing. good for racing. but i think they are to expensive for rx7 and the ones i have seen are way to notchy!!

 

It comes as u see it on picture, just necessary stuff to make it work, no new bushings included....i personaly have no problem with it in my car, i simply removed stock one and installed new one, using old stock bushings.....i think mazdatrix's kit does not come with new bushings...not sure...

 

When do you think you would have them available?

 

Very interested
would have bought one by now, but $200+ is way too much

 

mine will be $150, no more....

knight:
currently i do have first 13 kits but they are for me and my friends here in Europe, i could have another 50 kits in week or two, then about one week to get them to USA if there will be demand high enough to make them...

 

I have the Mazdatrix short shifter and I love it. It is the same design as the Mazdaspeed but a lot cheaper. and yes it did come with bushings.

 

I thought some of them did come with bushings..

Higgi let me know when you get a run of them ready to go. Ill ask around and see if anyone else wants one.

 

knight > drop me and email to higgi@rx7cz.net and i'll keep you in list

 

those are looking good higgi but is it just that or are there extra parts like the C's

 

it will be complete kit of course, i'm just showing you pictures i have so far ;o)))

 

i have a "C's" short throw shifter, i was gonna put on my car and like everyone...i wanted the height shorter, so i bought a pipe threader and begun to thread the shaft lower...the shifter is in practically new condition with the exception that i begun to thread more, and also i lost a small piece with the screws. if anyone is interested in puchasing this...i can send you a picture of everything(it is still brand new and has never been mounted). email me at badboy@kuentos.guam.net

I have the Mazdatrix and it works great. I have the buzz/rattle problem thou but it's worth it IMO.
