reason im asking is I have access to a parts car and I like the feel of the s4 shift **** and I know the s4 shifter had different thread pitch. I also want to buy the mazdatrix short shifter for my s5 but I have the s4 ****.

 

Why not just put it in and find out? It wouldn't take very long.

I'm saying the ***** are probably thread the same but the levers are probably different.

I'm pretty sure all short shifters are going to be s5 thread pitch since it is way more common of a thread pitch for aftermarket shift *****.

S4 shift lever will work, but when you upgrade to a short shifter you'll have to get another ****, unless you can find one with the less desirable s4 thread pitch.

 

Never knew the shift **** threads were different and the levers were interchangeable..seems weird since they aren't sold as universal for all 86-91 models...hmm

not 100 percent Beach.
I got a C's shifter with a S4 thread pattern.
This is my second one.
the First one I had milled to fit s5 sized shift *****.
S4 Shifter: M12 x 1.5

S5 Shifter: M10 x 1.25

 

Well does anyone have an s5 shift **** they wanna let go?

 

Make a want to buy thread in the for sale section.

Only difference is the shift thread pitch. Totally interchangeable.

 

A forum member hit me up. Thanks for the info guys

 

Why are you posting misinformation that you don't know 100%?

Just don't post at all in that case.

 

My bad, I like to post and was trying to help.

Replying with what you think is "probably" correct, is gonna hurt more than help

 

It was an honest mistake

It is a stupid mistake as this info is in the stickies and FAQ, every noob should read this first...

If all this kind of false information should not be posted, i think postcount drops atleast 30% making it easier to find the right info with a few clicks.
