I need to know if a shifter from an S4 to an S5 is interchangeable. I am looking into buying a C's short shifter and the guy who has it bought it for an 86 S4 and I want to know if it will drop into an S5.

Drops right in, but the threads for the ***** are different, so you'll need the corresponding ****.

Well I got the shifter. Next question is do I need to add any grease in the hole where the bottom of the shifter goes? If so, what kind of grease is it?



Oh and I screwed my S5 **** on just fine.

I bought it from a guy locally. It was still new in the box. I dont think they make them anymore.

If by "the hole where the bottom of the shifter goes", you mean the shift tower, then no. Don't add grease. Add Gear oil (75w-90 or 80w-90). Add it until it covers half of the shift rod in the tower, maybe a touch more.

Jose, take a look at the Miata shifters and some of the writeups on this and other forums. I got one off ebay for about $55 and slapped it in, it works great. Throws are so much shorter and more crisp.
