Sorry if this is a silly question. I just bought a B&M short shifter replica from ebay. Do I need other fresh new parts like gaskets, new bushings, shifter boot, spring etc. since I'm replacing the shifter?

Mazdatrix have a list of parts, I'm just not sure if they are applicable for aftermarket shifters or oem only.

it will probably be a complete part, housing and all except the little plastic piece on the bottom of the shifter. unless you got a different one than me, link to the one you bought.

This is the one I got:

So I need to buy that plastic piece for the bottom of the shifter? Which one in mazdatrix parts list is that so I can order that now and not have to wait after the shifter arrives?

I was looking at buying the exact same shifter kit from eBay. Has anyone had experience with these? Do they work or are they rubbish? Thanks alot for your help and advice..

From what I've read it's 50/50, some people like it, and some don't. It is a B&M short shifter replica, many say it's too notchy. For it's price it's worth a try cause you can always go back to stock if you hate it.

Theorie seems to like his one, here are his reviews:

You can take the plastic one off your stock shifter or buy an upgraded one. I like the shifter, it is a bit notchy but feels good to me.
