list/reviews of short shifters?
I'm considering a short shifter for my DD and am trying to do some research.
I was hoping there would be a list and/or reviews of shifters, but maybe we can start one.
From my searches it seems the following are/were available:
mazdatrix
corksport
c's (couldn't find a link where to buy)
miata
various ebay
If anyone could provide some reviews that would be helpful, or if there are others I did not list.

mine is based on the mazdatrix, although made by another company. it too rattles like a bitch. make more noise in the car than the car itself, and my car is far from quiet. don't think i'd put one in a daily, to be honest with ya. you'll certainly build up you're left arm, thats for sure!! sorry, right arm, I'm an aussie, haha!!

WTF is a Piston?..Anyone?
ebay one for like 20$ is crap. its a 2 piece that always rattles. it comes apart and sucks. it has a plastic clip that goes on the bottom ball into the tranny. that scares me anything plastic will disintigrate with heat. the shift also sucked could not get reverse. mine was in for 5 mins. if u want it pay shipping its urs lol.

The ebay shifter isn't "crap" but OK. Im fairly sure mine is a ebay shifter. After screwing around with the bushings it really isnt that bad for the price. It doesnt rattle and the plastic clip is fine after over 15k/inspection. Hell the stocker has a plastic clip too. Reverse gear is fine. I like it A LOT more than the stock shifter.
My pop's has the miata short throw/rx-8 know in his....miata. Probably the best shifter ive ever felt. You can bang gears sooooo quick.

I have a mazdatrix one and I love it, really short throw, mine doesn't buzz at all. On the mazdatrix website it says that the short shifter tends to buzz in one out of three cars.. So it's something in some rx7s that make it buzz cuz the shifter will be quiet in one car and the same shifter will buzz in another, js a little food for thought

I've searched but was curious if an fd shifter would fit an fc. If not out of the box, what would it take?
I like retarded, unpractical stuff and have been wanting an ikeya forumula sequential since i learned they existed.
Throw doesn't get any shorter or more precise than that.
