The stock one is actually pretty small. You aren't going to do much smaller with the same design and in leather. You'd be better off going with a short shift kit and using the stock ****.

The pettit one is perfect for what you are describing. You have to cut 1/2 inch of the threads on the stock shifter to make it fit, but its a really high quality ****. Here's a pic of it in my car, not the best, but you can get the point.

scroll 1/2 way down to the interior pic.

i know what you mean but i think with them being so new the only place you will get them is the dealer. i remember reading that they're around $150 (ouch)...
but its got a rotor on the top i hear you say

I am pretty sure all of the manual rx8s are 6 speed. I thought the autos came with a 4spd but i guess it could be 5.

well that may explain it, in the uk we dont get any manual rx8s, only two different powered manual, the lower powered one is a 5-speed the higher is a 6-speed, so you could always get the **** imported from japan as they're bound to have it if you cant get it in the US

JTimports has the 5-speed RX8 ****, very expensive but cool. I like my leather mazdaspeed **** from corksport but it is taller than the original.
