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 ***.
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 ***.
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.

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.

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.
