Several months ago we posted up a feeler on the forums for building a short shifter for the FC since Mazdaspeed Japan has discontinued theirs.

The shifter we have come up with uses the nylon slide for the pin to keep the shifting smooth like the stock/Mazdaspeed shifter.

With the new Mazda dust boot, nylon pivot/spring, and gaskets we would have a price of $190.

Comments? Concerns? Post away.

 

Does it include new bushings as well?

 

PM me pictures please

 

will this be a group buy?

 

im interested on a group buy

 

sounds good im in on it for sure

 

Any news on this happening? Very interested.

 

We have one in a car running around town doing real-world shakedowns now.

I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I have more pics or info.

 

I'm interested in this...what would be shipping costs to Canada?

 

Not much.

Pretty small box.

 

Alright, I'll get back to you once I'm ready to buy..I've gotta get my car running and safetied first.

 

any rattling issues yet?

 

Nope.

 

thats good . keep us updated, stupid miata short shifter wont be lasting me much longer haha

 

I'm interested.

 

I will pick one up for my t2 as soon as they are on sale.

 

Pics? And FYI if it works for the FC it will for the SA/FB.

 

The shifter is out on the street running through the daily grind of shifting in a car still.

Currently we do not have a product picture to release for the public. I will see what I can do though.

I might be in as well, depends on if the timing lines up with my pay cheque.

 

Sounds like a good enough deal to me.

Did you model it after the mazdaspeed version? Just curious how short of a throw it is...

 

I would say the shifter closest to it would be an RE-Amemiya shifter. Ours uses a nylon insert though for smoother shifting. The throw is a good 35% shorter. It is a noticable difference.

 

Just out of curiousity would a rx8 shift **** fit the short shifter setup?

 

Yes.

 

what exatcly is the difference between the brands? i always thought they were all the same. i just wanted the corksport one cuz corksport is cool haha

 

Does it come with new bushings? Could you pm me some pics?
