I had this paired with their short throw shifter. It really made the car engage well!

Shifts feel much more precise and engaging with this kit! I love how snappy shifting is now. And its durable too, I have had this installed for a few years now with no issues!

Installed my shift plate and bushings today and there’s a pretty drastic difference! Plenty of juice for a little squeeze. For removing the bushings (the hardest part of the process) I reached underneath and pulled the bushing edge back while pushing down from the top with needle nose pliers, they came right out. OEM shift knob is about 200 grams, probably going to need something heavier to really enjoy this mod. Thanks Corksport!!

Had this kit installed for 4+ years in 2 different cars and shifts are still just as firm and notchy as the first day I installed them. Way better feel and shift engagement!

For $100 you get an adjustable shorter throw and a bit more positive engagement with the bushings. What's not to like about it!

Shift plate went on super easy, bushings took a little work to install. Shifts now feel much more precise and short. Easily worth the money.

highly recommend getting the short shift plate and bushings. Very easy install removing the old bushing a little annoying. but its worth it. Feels great smooth short shifts love it. I honestly wish i did this sooner

Absolutely worth, close to S2000 feeling!
Installation of the SSP and the bushings was totally easy, like 20 mins, maybe 30 in total.
I've set the throw to the middle position, which should be about 30% shortage. LOVE it!

I was surprised how much of a difference this made

I just installed these on my 2011 Mazda speed 3. I love it, the throw is a lot better and you can deff get into gear much faster. Was an easy install but the instructions was to clear on how to install the plate. There’s no good videos in your tube on how to do it but if you have any mechincal skills you’ll be fine.
