If you were asking a valind question I apologize there was a lot of F&F bullshit if I nixed your by accident I am sorry.



I have one and love it. I even am willing to live with the rattle noise for the feel of the sharp precise shifts.



I was missing my 2-3 shift a lot before the new Mazdatrix shifter was installed it now that isn't a problem anymore.

doesnt that drop the action from like 6" to 3"? and is this rattle obvious, say from outside the car?



Sorry for the F&F bs..that movie just cracks me up

Yes it shortens the throw to 3.5" from 6".



I have 2 trannys for my TII. My original one (out of the car awaiting rebuild) didn't rattle. My backup one rattles.



So I can safely say Mazdatrix is wrong. Its not car specific its Tranny specific.



How loud? Pretty loud. It can be heard over the exhaust.
