Definitely a worthy mod. Shifts are dramatically shorter, mine is set at the full 40, even the girlfriend loves it! It is a little more stiff when engaging in gear but its nothing to steer you away from the product. The toughest part was getting the factory bushings out, still not a very difficult install. Get it!

This should be one of the first if not the first thing you should do to the Mazdaspeed 3! It's cheap and it makes the car so much more enjoyable to drive. At the max reduction, throws are comically short (little difference between 1st and 5th) but rewarding to shift. There is a little more effort required to shift, but the bushings help the the gears snick into place; second gear audiblly makes a snicking noise. Installation of the short shifter couldn't be easier, but the bushings...well make sure you have a way to retrieve any washers or bushings which fall down (at least one will). I have a corksport washer lost somewhere between the carpeting and metal of my car.

Just installed the shifter plate and bushings. The shifter plate install only requires the removal of the air box. This install took me about 20 minutes to get the vehicle on the road. The bushing were also an easy install. Both of these products really changed the way I shift and I love it. I set my plate on 40% reduction and now do not have to raise my are off of the arm rest to shift through all gears. Love both of these products.

Had these installed and wow! Can you feel the difference! Much solid shifting and locks in a lot better. I had it set at 40% and it was perfect! Thanks Corksport for a quality product!

For the short time that it was installer I enjoyed this piece alot. Had abit of problems getting some gears in, after adjusting about 2-3 times I decided to look elsewhere and realized that my shifter cable was broken. Had to remove the SSP and off to the dealer we go.

I installed this on my 13 speed 3. I installed both shift plate and new counter weight. The shift plate is great and you can definitely tell a difference when going through the gears. The smaller counter weight I just switched back out with the stock. If you like the lighter shifting then I recommend the lighter weight. Just preference really. Great product though and definitely recommend it.

I know this is à dumb question but will this fit on mazda3sport 2010

But they look the same . I really like to know it this setup will fit ! I hope it will .

Every Mazdaspeed needs this! You can't complain about the price for both of these products. The shifting is nearly perfect now. Installation was very easy, Corksport provides very simple, step-by-step instructions. When installing the shifter plate, I recommend leaving the stock counterweight on, it makes shifting more smooth. When installing the bushings, push the stock rubber bushing through to the other side with a screw driver. Very simple and quick install. Buy the rear motor mount from Corksport to go with it!

Hi, i instal the SS plate and at first i set it up to about 25% with no counterweight. It was ok not more. I had problem to get into 4th gear sometime. Today i instal the CS counterweight and set my plate all the way to 40%. This is perfect. Wow

Mathieu Bourbonnais03/21/2014, 11:16 AM

How well would a weighted shift knob work With/effect the feel with this product?

Will this kit still fit with stock airbox set up? I had a JBR one currently that won't let the car shift into 5th & 6th with the stock airbox pushed all the way down into place.

Hello, I have a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. My 2nd gear pops out sometimes under deceleration because of bad synchros im sure. If i install this entire kit, will it help, hinder, or not make a difference in how easily it stays in gear?

In the instructions, it says not all cars can run the 40% reduction. Just curious, which cars won't be able to? I'm wanting to get this for my '13 MS3 USDM
