What cars had RX-8 5 speed shift ****?
I want the shift **** from an RX-8 in my FD. I know of a site that sells them in a 5 speed version (I have the link save @ work... but I'm at home & can't remember the site...), but I am wondering what car the 5 speed shift **** came on, because I thought the RX-8 were all 6 speed (could be wrong). So is there a 5-speed RX8? Or another car that had the RX8 shift ****, but with 5 speeds (even though that wouldn't make sense cuz the **** is rotor shaped). Or is the 5 speed shift **** some specialty item that was modified to only display 5 gears?
I assume there was a non-US RX8 that had a 5-speed tranny that these come off of...
& if anyone has one they want to sell for less than $100 (which is what the site charges), let me know...

I've found they have them in the UK... anywhere else?
I just can't justify spending $100 on a shift ****... so I gotta try to find one used...

Does anybody know if the automatic transmission ***** will fit our sticks? Is the thread pattern the same? If so, you can get one in more than one color and the **** will just say "RX-8" instead of the 6-speed pattern.

& Placing a sticker on the top, or putting tape to cover up the '6' does not count.

^^ I couldn't see a way to remove the top without removing the leather... of course, I could have missed something. Let us know what you find. I bet a lot of RX7 owners would be interested to have a 5-speed RX8 shift **** (that doesn't cost $100)

I found one on eBay UK... too bad it ended up selling for $70 USD + another 20 for shipping... I could buy it new for a bit more... I was hoping to pick that up as a bargain... guess I'll keep looking...
*EDIT* Now no fair watching eBay UK for a used peice... I told you guys that for AFTER I buy mine... it's only fair that you let me buy mine first
