The MR short throw with knob is installed. It is a tremendous difference from the factory. The throw is waaaay shorter than any that I have experienced. The quality is there, installation, of course, was a snap. MR used only brand new factory Mazda replacement seals and gaskets for the install. The knob fits nicely. The shifts are very secure. It is just such a great difference from the OEM that it will take some getting used to. 2nd to 3rd shift is a little odd, kinda hard to find. I haven't found a good way to speed shift that change yet. I cannot knock the product because the price and the quality is great for the product. It boils down to personal preference.

well ive got the MR shiftknob, its black which they dont even sell on their site, so im thinking ill order the shifter itself after i get this rack and pinion kit ordered, if cp will ever answer my email

just put the mazda racing shifter and knob on this afternoon. i can't believe the ease of the install and the amazingly short throw. all i can say is wow, and hopefully get some pics up soon. oh and reverse is the hardest gear to get into.
