Thumbs up

I have had the shifter in for a week now. All I can say is this is not a mod you want, this is a mod you gotta have. The difference in feel has got to be experienced to be believed. You WILL love it!!!

Thought I would try here before I started another thread.

When I shift from 1st to 2nd, especially when I am hard shifting, it feels like there is a notch or "catch" mid way down (near the neutral position). Has anyone else noticed this or is it just mine?

What could this problem be and would the SS fix this problem.

BTW this is really annoying and really screws me over on my shifting time.

I don't know anything about the MR2, but I think it's very possible that your assumption would be incorrect. The RX-8 already comes stock with a short throw shifter. So for all I know the stock RX-8 feels like the MR2's aftermarket short throw shifter.

Sorry, but we haven't raised the price in three years so it's gotta look cheaper now. Think about this: Mazdaspeed has one that was $400 when we started so is more now. But it doesn't give you the feel and is a pain in the *** to install.
Most competition Rx8's run ours even after buying the Mazdaspeed unit.
We really arent selling the shorter throw we are selling the "feel." The throw reduction is exactly the same as Mazdaspeed's. Everything else is better and less expensive plus warrenteed for as long as you own it. What else can I offer you? A 30 day return policy. You got it.

Consider that you can use it for years and still sell it for $200 on this forum!

You should go to a local meet and try one out; Then it won't seem so expensive.

hey can someone send me a link to look at prices for a short shifter? I was debating wether to get an exhaust next but many people seem to like this better and the stock exhaust really isn't so bad. All I keep finding is shifter ***** and boot covers. Thanks new rx8 owner!
