i have a simple question... i found everything i need to find thanx to search function...anyway my question is... if you can use the miata short throw on an FB and FC, then does that mean you can use an FC short throw in an FB without modification???

 

the miata shifter will fit
short shifters suck, leave the stock one
if i had to get one, the only one i would use would be a C's shifter, if you could find one.

 

but will an FC's short shifter fit??

 

Yes., in the FBs, but not the SAs.

 

I bought a Miata short shifter on eBay recently for $12. Haven't had time to try and install it yet...

Why do they suck? I like the feel.

 

i also bought a miata one.... but i was wondering that guy on ebay that sells the mk1 short throws for fb's and fc's... why does he have such a big difference in price if its the same thing??... the fc one is like 80 something and the fb is 170 something.... i just thought there was a difference... i should of just bought the fc one rather then the miata one.... but oh well too late, i'll install it this weekend... i went ahead and ordered a greddy counterweight shift ****... it weighs 14oz... its super heavy...!

 

All FB and FC shifters interchange. The only difference is the S5 shifters have a different thread pitch for the *****.

 

Hey why do short shifters suck for you? So a Miata shifter fits. Hmmm.........

 

yeah im doin the mod this weekend .... ill post pics when im done...

 

Depends how short it is... some of them are so short you can hardly find the gears, but on the early transmissions stock feels like you're driving a truck especially compared to even stock S5 or Miata shifters.
