Will this short shifter fit?

hey people, would this thing fit perfect or would i have to do any modifications to make it fit?

Is it worth it?

if you can get it for 25 bucks or even a little better I think it would be worth it - that is if your interested in shortening your shift throws.

It will fit by the looks of the kit. I would search in here for Miata short shifter if you want to explore another route

Anyone else smell a "too good to be true" auction?
Just seems odd that most of these go for well over $100, but yet you can potentially snag this one for less than $50? Seller has really good feedback though -- and has sold a few of these too.

Hmm. Let us know how it goes if you pick one up.

Yes - it will fit. Hope you can get it for that.

If not:
I used a Miata short shift. Do a search in this forum for "Miata short shifter"

wow, so this is the real deal then. I just thought i'd search for rx-7 short shifter out of the blue and i found this auction. I'm going for it guys!

I'll hopefully get it for under $45

get one for a 91-98 mazda miata... there exactly the same as the shortshifters for the rx-7, but since there are alot of miata's out there... there cheaper, like 25-40$. they fit with no modifications. i have a miata shorshifter for my 86 rx7 and it works great

Matts86fc3s: No such thing as a 98 Miata !

Poster: Check the archeives, I think that shifter would be fine, otherwise its only like $45 bucks.
