This is why I ask. It's made for an FD. Would look nice in our FC's.

Isn't the S5 shifter size larger than the S4 shifter size?

FD, Miata, S5 FC, Honda S2000, all have the same thread pitch size. According to internet resources, anyway.

I couldn't find a single shift **** that would thread onto an S4; I bought a Voodoo **** and drilled/tapped it to fit my S4 short shifter.

Just use a Razo **** for an S4, they have plastic inserts that allow you to thread them onto the shifter.
