Mazdatrix short shifter. I replaced every busing/boot, and it feels like new! You gotta be a retard to miss a shift.

It looks good. Did you come up with a final price, and I'm seriously considering doing my own threads. Could you do one unthreaded?

As i stated before, need to sell few those which are currently made, then i could make others .......price $150 shipped for those with M12x1,75 threads and of course i am open to group buy

(in this case group buy = discounted price if more than 5 shifters will be prepaid and shipped to one address, contact me at higgi@rx7cz.net)

Once i will sell those, i will be taking orders for next batch and will make S4 and S5 threaded or unthreaded as u guys will request....

You're quick to be pissy then someone can't buy your stuff at the drop of a hat. Some of us have to come up w/ money. I guess that's just more cash to go into something performance oriented.

I been driving with mazdatrix short-shifter for about 3 weeks and I really love it. I don't have that rattle some people have and it shifts really smoothly now. I have a question though, during install I noticed that there is a metal bushing(about inch tall and same diameter as other bushings) that would not fit, all the other bushings fit but when I use the metal one it extrudes over the spacer. I haven't noticed any problems yet and I was wondering if not using the metal bushing will cause a problem down the road.

Hi, I have a short shifter kit that is missing one component, it is the inner ring with the notch out of it. I have the shifter, and the larger piece with the dowel pin but am missing the other one, if someone has a kit (like Higgi maybe :-)) could you please give me some specs on that piece since I might have to make one myself. Or Higgi if you could tell me the easiest way to make one in your opinion. It looks like I could cut a little length of pipe and dremel a notch but I am not sure.

Thanks,
John
