Hey guys, the leather on my oem shift **** is completely worn. Just wanted to know whats the best Oem shift **** that will fit. I dont really like aftermarket shift ***** as they tend to get too hot or cold during the summer/winter months. So after a trip to the junk yard, i just picked up a nice weighted mx6 shift ****. It fits and feels perfect. Total cost was 1 dollar.

New $1 shift ****.

 

I really like the JDM Rx-8 5 speed shift ****. Some people think it sits tall for stock shifter though. This isn't really a problem for people with shorter shifters.

 

+1 on the rx8 5 speed

 

looks pretty awesome. i didnt know rx8 came in 5 speed.

 

Is that a Nissan 240sx shift ****?

 

It did, just not in the states.

 

Hi, it came out of mazda mx6. i think it feels better than the oem leather one.

 

interesting cup holder. Where that came from?

I use a Mazdaspeed 6 shift ****. Nicely weighted and looks/feels good.

best pic I have

 

Contour I believe.

 

I have the 5spd RX-8 ****, but I don't have a short shifter so it looks weird with an inch gap between the **** and the shift boot. Going to use this Mazdaspeed Protege **** until I get a short shifter, it matches well with my Autometer CF gauges.

 

Came out of a ford taurus. they are only a couple of bucks at the junkyards.

 

I can vouch for that, super easy guy to work with. Check this sucker out, he even re-did it once to change the color for me, and didn't complain one bit. Great service!

 

Where the **** did you get that cup holder?

 

The magic of reading 2 post above will answer your question

 

I got a brand new oem leather Mitsubishi **** for $17 shipped. Weighs 16 oz and has a substantial feel to it.

 

^ What model mitsubishi? Any pics, links, or source?

 

I also got a shift **** from landon https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...4&postcount=20

BUT if you want the OEM **** i re-uphosltered my stock FD one and threw it in my accord with the help of hulanfd3s

If you can find one, the Mazdaspeed shift **** for the FD is EXCELLENT, that's what I have. Perforated leather, has the Mazdaspeed logo embossed on the side, and it's weighted and VERY heavy. Looks, works, and feels great.

Here is my Mazdaspeed miata cf shifter **** and e brake

 

Wow, that is very impressive work. I will have to give him a call to redo my steering wheel someday.

 

Its most likely the one discussed here:

Hard to beat if a weighted oem quality, leather wrapped **** is what you are after.

 

Yes, it's the same one as shown in the post linked above. I can't remember what model it came from but it came in Mitsubishi packaging w/ Mistubishi part number so it's a good quality shift ****. I actually purchased it from this guy on E-bay:
