I bought mine 2days after i bought her what a difference, from rowing a boat 2 flick of the wirst fo sho'

you can shift mad quik yo!

where did you get it? i have money to burn and i want one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

ebay but they have a set website www.mazdaracing.com

My stock shifter bushings were......umm......how do you say....GONE



All that was left was two mettal rings and a lot of GUNK



The whole thing took me like 25-30 minutes to do.(I took my time)



First you remove the nob.

Remove the shifter surround.

Remove the top two rubber peices.

Pull the bottom rubber peice around the stock shifter to get to the bolts.

Remove bolts.

Pull shifter out.

Pull bottom bushing out.(I only had a little metal ring)

I cleaned out all the crap that was in there.

Place MAZDA OEM gasket on the tranny.

Place the spacer on the gasket.

Pour in Oil.

Lube up the shifter.

Insert shifter.

Place top bushing ontop of shifter.

Place inner boot over the shifter.

Screw bolts on.

Replace Rubber parts.

Replace surround.

Re-install shifter nob.



Done





I love it!



I only have to move a tad to switch from the 1-2 to the 3-4 gear range. Shifting from 1-2 is like 2-2.35" And it feels nice and tight.





Santiago

Nice

Even better than NICE it is GREAT. I definatly don't mind spending around 177 dollars shipped for a quality peice from these guys. I am loving it and can't wait to doo some nice agressive driving with it.



Santiago

that's good news, finally a cheaper option for us

i hate you guys...i want one so bad....i think i might just go buy one

theyre charging 170 for the shifter and 20 bucks for shippinjg WHAT THE UFCK!?





ebay shipping = 8

their store = 19.95





no thanks

Yep on their site they are just covering all areas of people that will buy them. On Ebay they said if it was international it would cost 19.xx for shipping.



Trust me the box they shipped it in was VERY NICELY packed. It didn't use peanuts as packing. THey got some of that foam that is used in gun cases and sandwiched everything between two layers.

Nice man, so how do you like the feel of it. I have somewhat of a short shifter..



Previous owner of my car epoxied the stock shift knob in place, time came to replace my shifter bushings i couldnt removed my shift knob.. I ended up ripping the upper part of the shift linkage completly off i was left with a little 2"inch nub with some rubber pieces still glued to it. I shaved the rubber off and attached a momo shift knob to the 2" nub. I have used it for about 2 years and gotten use to it.



-Markus



"People look at my shifter and are like WTF" CHEERS!

It is very nice. Deffinately shorter throws. It is only around 1" shorter than stock but the throws are more than 3" shorter.

i dont care HOW its packed...it should be the same for whereever ti ships to



im just not supporting a place that will rip me off on shipping....its utter bullshit.....theyre trying to **** people from their own store, and sort of ******* people that shop on ebay



i bought a stock shifter from rx7 resurrections and he charged me 4.25 for shipping



theres NO ******* reason at ALL that a shifter should be shipped out for 20 dollars



and i dont care



try and justify it but i wont pay that even if the shifter is diamond....for 8 dollars i would...but im not wasting 12 dollars for no reason....

A lot of companies make money that way now, especially on ebay.. by ripping people off on shipping. It sucks.

I use a private shipping company when I sell things. I costs me at least 8 dollars to ship inside of texas. If the product is over 100 dollars it costs 1 dollar per 100 dollars more to insure it. That is 9 dollars already. Plus a package which is usually 1 dollar not to mention the special packaging which would also cost more.



They didn't use USPS which is god damned cheap but has no tracking.

Not to mention USPS often looses crap and you can't get the insurance money even if you fight it.



If your not willing to pay you shouldn't play. That is my motto.



Santiago

maniac - yeah thats what im saying, they shouldnt be ripping off peopel from there store though, its ******* stupid to rip off the people you are appealing to and trying to make a profit from and its just bad PR







87rxyguy i deal with UPS and Fedex EVERYDAY, i know more than enough about shipping costs and all that....i also know that it costs me 20 dollars to ship a wheel, it costs me 20 dollars to ship a catback, it does NOT however cost 20 dollars to ship a shifter.....



please do not try and educate me about the proper shipping costs of a product......and dont give me that willing to pay shouldnt play **** - thats stupid and you know it...im willing to pay for a product, but im not willing to support a company that is trying to make a few extra bucks by ripping off the customer who they are trying to market an item for



its not a good way to get peopel to know your business, a rotary-biased company tries to sell things, but then tries to rip people off like that, rip off hte people they are making products for..its stupid and they dont deserve my money



maybe if they lower the shipping cost....but i emailed them and spoke to them, and they give me this bullshit sales pitch.... "oh well itll cost the same to ship one item or 20 items, but were having a sale on clutches now so if you need one, and want to buy a clutch, the short shifter, and a pulley set, we can ship it all for free" ---- get the **** out of here

About the rattling noise,



The Mazdatrix one does rattle. They have a writeup on their website where they tested different manufacturers of short shifters in different RX-7's and found that it was a random event that the rattling occurred. Some rattled, some did not, some rattled in one car where they didn't rattle in another. They chalked it up to a random event.



By the way, mine rattles. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Does this one rattle?

i hope not i just ordered it./...and got less money for shipping

thank god, now we dont have to hear you complaining about the

shipping cost, lol



I would get one if I knew it wasnt going to rattle.



Who wants to make me a deal, if I get it and it rattles they give me

when I paid for it? Since its a random thing from one car to another?

well i called the guy and was like this is not right...





butt ummm....its not that i was bitching rob its just bullshit

yeah, it was bullshit

It DOES NOT rattle. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



Anyways I didn't try to edumacate you all I was just saying that it usually costs around 8-9 dollars for me to ship something via UPS.



So the EBAY shipping for it was justifiable IMO. But 19.99 is not I know but hey what are you going to do.



I hope you all like them if you pick them up. I love mine.

The shifter doesnt rattle...the fork bushings do. When you change the lever point, you ampilfy the vibrations that the shifter recieves and it rattles. I rebuilt my gearbox and the rattling stopped. I love my mazdaspeed shifter....it was assembled when it came to my door..unlike that one you got.



4 steps.



1. take shiftknob off



2. take off leather boot, and inner boot



3 unscrew the 3 bolts and pull shifter out



4. put MazdaSpeed shifter in



5. reassemble all the other crap.

i got mine in and installed it it feels great too bad i cant drive with it yet



one thing: what are you using for the shifter? i know stock s5 shifter no work....and i dont wanna buy the one from them

stock S4 knob



On the way will be their polished nob tho. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

i think that knob is one ugly mother....with the rotor etched into it..ew

What's the shipping on that rotor knob?

199000 dollars

Get a knob from Team Voodoo. They are nice.
