anybody simply luv their...

short throw shifter. i just got my mazdaspeed one about 3 days ago and installed it today. it feels awesome, nice, stable and feels much more solid than stock. the throws r definately shorter but not too short. install took about 15 min with simple tools and it was worth every minute. i highly recommend this shifter, its just soo tight

for all you guys interested in a short shifter go with the mazdaspeed one. ive heard some bad things about the B&Ms such as they dont fit right, hard to install, rattle and they make shifting gears really hard. if you want the best then go with the mazdaspeed, its quality shows right through. went in easily, looks exactly like stock meaning that it works perfectly, and gears go in easily and smoothly. no rattling while driving either... damn, i sound like a salesman, oh well. the mazdaspeed really is the best
