nope, each shift **** is specially designed for a spasifik car. If you loose/break yours then your in a world of hurt. I heard the cars doesnt even start if the serial number on the shift **** doesnt match your cars computer serial number.

Seriously, there are plenty of places that can get the OEM **** just open your eyes. THe dealer could get it as well but i am sure its pricey

Do a search........there are at least a couple of threads on shift *****!
And....."No", the dealer isn't going to give you one!

Be careful. You might not want to know the answer.

the silver top of my shift **** broke, my dealership replaced it under the b2b warranty.

i got rid of it 7k miles later. i sold it and at the same time bought a used mazdaspeed shift ****. i was without a shift **** for a few days (shipping) but man it was worth it.

Sure we do - it probably ends with "It was a million to one shot, Doc!".

Pretty sure these guys have it:

https://onlinemazdaparts.com

Couple other vendors can get you used or new ones. I know RX8Strakes.com did some buys on ***** a while back.

Or get a relatively cheap upgrade and get the MS shift **** from there.
