Thumbs up

I am in the interested in buying a short throw shifter and I have a couple questions.



One being: Are early 90's Miata short shifters compatible with with my '87?



2nd: What will i need to replace eliminate the sloppy shifter feeling?





thanks

miata shifter will work, but you need to buy more stuff than the shifter

i.e. shifter bushings. and even then you will not be able to get rid all the free-play.
