there are no markings or anything on it and it sure looks like one but before i put it up for sale, i want to verify or at least get a second opinion.

C's Short Shifter

There is also a white sticker with Japanese writing at the top part, before the threads.

The only place on it that actually identifies it is on top surface of the rubber boot flange. It says C's there if it is original.

That boot is shot but the good news is you can use an oem boot on the c's shifter.

Use it more, I think they need to be broken in or something. I had a chance to try one with many miles on it and it was amazing. I was told from the owner that it got much better once you put more miles through it. It's what convinced me to buy my own mazdatrix SS.

Fair enough. Thanks. It only has 100 miles on it. I was pretty lucky finding it. I lobbed a call in to see if they had any used ones laying around. And the owner said he was shocked that he stumbled upon a new one in the box like a couple days before my call. One nice thing is that it doesn't rattle at all. The throws are so sure.

Btw, I was also thinking the fluid looked a little low though. Not sure.
