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 **** in place, time came to replace my shifter bushings i couldnt removed my shift ****.. 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 **** to the 2" nub. I have used it for about 2 years and gotten use to it.

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

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.

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....

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.

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.

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?
