A must have upgrade in my opinion! Install smooth as butter as expected, instructions were great. Can't wait to really put it to the test at the Mazdas at the dragon event in October!

I have had most setups available for the speeds on my first gen and now my second gen. Stock shifter with a shift plate to a competitor’s short shifter, and now this shifter. This one is my favorite so far in feel. It feels much more solid than both stock and other aftermarket option. There is also much more adjustability with this shifter being able to move the height up and down and having more shift cable throw adjustment points. I have the shifter lowered a bit and have tried a couple different cable attachments points. Each shift is solid but effortless paired with a Corksport knob. I also keep the boot off to see all the great blue anodizing!

You can really feel the difference between this one and the OEM one. Haven't drove the car much with it but I tested it and is just amazing how it works.

Installed the short shifter yesterday, though I have seen the improvement of the shifting, I have come to the problem of the shifter not being center, where as the OEM shifter being in the middle due to the angle it is given and the corksport shifter not having that angle. :/

I only gave this a 4 star rating instead of a 5 start rating because the install isn't all that easy its alot of delicate plastic parts that are hard to get out without coming close to destroying them. Very intricate tabs to get the original gear shift out of the plastic housing that it sits in and the 3 tabs are super hard to undo and keep undone while removing the stock shifter. You will have to exercise patience. I would highly recommend the 4 Corksport Base Bushings as well since you will already have the base unit unbolted. Once you have the new bushings in and the new short shifter in it rockets right into a 5 star rating. As one of the previous reviews state its PURE Magic, makes the speed3 faster cause you can shift so fast with this thing and it makes for very very nice solid shift notching no play whatsoever. Makes the speed3 super fun to drive and adds a nice high quality shifting experience to the speed3.

Definitely a dramatic improvement over the OEM shifter, especially when considering the price. Corksport has done an amazing job with this mod and the quality you'd expect is very much apparent. Installation was straight forward, adjustments to the shifter can be done quickly and cater to any driver's preference. Excellent job Corksport, now how about a performance steering wheel for us Genpu owners.

My car now has its 9th part from corksport. The products still continue to amaze me with quality. The only thing that stopped me from giving this 5 stars was the instructions. There were a few parts left out that are needed to be added for the 2013 mazdaspeed 3. Also, when removing the stock shifter from the shifter cup, you need to push in the tab on the outside and then pull in the other two tabs. instructions say to push all 3. This does not allow the shifter to come loose. All in all, very happy again. will continue to buy more!

The lroblem I have with the product is the instructions that come with. I seem to keep having these issues. The instructions given do not match all gen 2 mazdaspeed 3s. I have a 2013 and every single part I have installed with the exception of my RMM has had something different that I have had to do to make these parts work. It's very frustrating. I'm not a certified mechanic but It shouldn't be this difficult. The instructions say to press in all 3 tabs and pull up simultaneously to remove the stock shifter. How is it possible to press in 3 tabs AND pull up at the same time? This is not as easy as stated. And the tabs do not just press in like they should. Not on my 2013. Would like some advice on how to get this fixed. Because all this time I put I is now wasted.

I got this and it was always sloppy and it would move around from side to side even when in gear. And then yesterday after just 4 months of being on my car it would not shift into 5th or 6th gear due to a broken piece on the unit... So I took it off and had to put back my stock shifter and everything works like it should now...Very disappointed in this product CorkSport Reply:Give us a call if there is something wrong with the shifter so we can get you taken care of, 360-260-2675 xt 102

I bought the short shifter last week and just got around to install it, but this thing is amazing. When I shift it is smooth and accurate. I love the height of it as well. I installed it under 30 min so I was on the road and ready to go. I definitely recommend this product. Great Job Corksport!!!
