small metal gasket/ spacer
well I installed my C's STS yesterday and in the process of removing the old shifter and bushings, the old piece of metal gasket/ spacer was broken. As you can see in step number 10 they remove this piece and replace it in number 12. what is this piece, what does it do, and is it okay that I don't have it anymore??
thanks

i think you're talking about the lower shifter bushing, you put in place a metal spacer where the bushing used to be, but you should have another one to put on top of the metal spacer before you put in the shifter
i'm only speaking from my experience with the mazdatrix short shifter, which is similar to the C's

That's the 'wavy' spring / shim that sits under the lower bushing. 100% necessary? - probably not. Shifter might feel a little sloppy without, though.
Get the shim & busing kit from the dealer.

But yes the return spring (the wavy spring) is used for tension, and is recommended, but not required.
