This is a must have upgrade for your car. I had the short shift plate, and ran into an issue with Ball and nut coming loose. The install was pretty straight forward with the supplied instructions. And really enjoy the short shifts again. Sloppiness is gone when I shift, and feel more comfortable shifting.

So I purchased this short shifter and only heard good things! But have not installed yet because I'm scared I'll break the retainer clip.. I know it says use a pick tool and flat head but still feel as if I'll break it.. anyone have any other suggestions?

Does this replace the short shift kit? Do I remove any short shift kit i have under the hood before installing this?

So Far, So Awesome- I purchased this short shifter shortly after their release in April 2014. And all I have to say is- finally! Finally there is a reasonable alternative to the $450+ full short shift replacements. I installed this mid/late-April along with the CS shifter base bushings after receiving my order (Corksport actually called me to inform me my order would be a little late. An actual phone call, go figure. +10 for customer service) and installed the CS base bushings, CS short shifter, and plopped my Razo RA68A (fantastic knob btw) on top. I ended up having the linkage attached to the shifter at the 2nd to shortest setting, and the knob height maybe 1 1/2 - 2cm above the lowest setting. I gotta say, holy hell. The shifter now feels like what the stock shifter SHOULD have felt like. MUCH shorter and more pleasant to use in both daily and high-throttle circumstances. A long time ago I drove my buddy's Speed MX-5 and was impressed with the shifter, and this model is not too far behind. Slamming through gears is very quick and almost faster than the synchros (or maybe my left foot?) can handle. Do note it really doesn't affect your 2-3 and 4-5 shifts, but the 1-2 and 3-4 shifts are magic. The only con that I can think of is really that it doesn't have the bend of the original shifter, which leaves it a bit off center and about a cm away from the ebrake during 6th, but I really don't find that to be an issue. I have seen some more OCD forum members complain about that, however about a week or two of use and it hasn't really bothered me. It's been 8 months now and I have no complaints. Would definitely recommend. Do the shift base bushings and a nice heavy knob at the same time and you won't regret it.

What a fantastic upgrade! Kills the terrible shifting experience when adjusted to your liking. Install wasn't bad at all except for one stupid clip! Seems this car is stuffed full of annoying clips all over. Kicks the crap out of the CS shift plate too as I uninstalled that shortly after except for the reduced weight. A+
