Shift Collar Question
 

I had come across a BeatRush Shift Collar on GoodWin Racings website, Part Number: 61-0710. It's listed for model years 04-11 (I own a 2010 GT) and I even inquired about fitment before placing the order as I know there are differences in the transmission from a Series I to a Series II. They confirmed it would fit and I placed the order. I received the order and tried to install it but as per my hunch it didn't fit. I have seen ones listed for late model MX-5, Part Number : 61-0711 which I feel may fit as the transmission is the same. Would this be the correct shift collar for my car or would the one from RMagic listed on RHDJapan.com do the trick. It states that it fits these models....

if that list is true and Goodwin sent you the right bushing then it should fit, you should confer with Beatrush to resolve the issue

Well I tried emailing Beatrush and received no response back from them. I am just going to order the one listed for the MX-5 06~ as that collar looks exactly like the stock collar currently on the shifter. As soon as I get the collar and install it I will update to let everyone know if it worked or not.
