short shifter

I have a 2009 gt. I am somewhat disappointed in the shifter. Is it reasonable to consider replacing the present shifter with one from the R3?

no. i doubt that is true since I have driven both and indeed they promote the fact that it is indeed a shorter throw

The R3 and an 09 shifter is the same. You are mistaken. i have driven both and there was no difference.

Axial Flow is working it...they have had an 09 tranny for quite awhile now trying to work it out.

I hear the miata short shifter will work since the 09's have the miata trans.
I heard Paul (AxialFlow) was out of the Rx8 business.
