How To Install A CorkSport Short Shift Plate

The installation of our Mazda short shift plate takes a mere 20-30 minutes with some simple hand tools. Installation is easy and requires little to no prior experience. The CorkSport short shift plate will provide a serious improvement to the quality of your shifting experience. We include installation instructions which cover the Mazda 3, Mazda 6 and Cx5.

Just installed and i am really happy with the results. The shift throw are noticeably shorter. My wife also noticed the difference. I also paired it with the shifter bushings.

Great quality product.

I do recommend it.
Is there a way to keep the shifter linkage down on the shifter arm? It pop's off after driving for a bit and it is as far down as I can press it. Aside from that annoying issue, the product works great.
This is a great product and only took 10 minutes to install. If you already have a CAI on your car, it makes the installation even simpler. Throws are noticeably shorter. I combined this with the shifter bushings and the experience is vastly improved. It was already a solid shifter to begin with, but improves it even more.
Great product and love the solid feel. However, I can not press down anymore firmly on the shifter linkage to the shifter arm so it falls off after driving for a bit. Help?
Great part and super easy to install. I had this finished in 30 minutes with a beer in one hand. I coupled this mod with the light weight main crank pulley and it dramatically reduced the shift time. The double edged sword is that 33% less shift distance equals 33% more muscle required to move it, which is a little saddening considering how extremely smooth the stock shift settup is, however it gives the stick a very solid, mechanical feel, which I like. You know without question you're in gear. Very easy, very affective, and very worth the money.
Awesome product. Shortened the shifts by about 30% and removed the weird resistance my gearbox had when going from 3rd to 4th gear.
Excellent product, exactly as described. Install went smooth as glass. Shifter throw feels great. Exactly as I wanted.
Works great and took about 10 minutes to install. Does exactly as it should and reduced throw by a significant amount.

A must have for the 3rd gen 3 or 6 installed along with the shifter bushings make it feel almost like a an Miata shifter. Worth the money to get rid of the crappy stock bushings that will just get worse with age, thank you corksport your products are awesome.

Simple enough installation. End result is not as drastic as I had anticipated, but it's certainly appropriate for a 2018 Mazda 6 sport. The Superklasse shift knob I have already sits low compared to the stock knob height, so this mod pairs well with it.

Only complaint is that the three hex screws used to secure the underside of the plate to the weighted shift arm has some very weak heads. The metal started to deform as I was tightening, though at that point, I'm sure it was tight enough anyways.

The instructions make this an easy part to install yourself. I DEFINITELY noticed an improvement in the shortness of the throw of the shifter with this part. This is how the shifter should be from stock!

Fantastic addition to your manual Mazda, especially when paired with the transmission, rear motor mounts, and solid shift bushings. This is part of a quality of life upgrade that will enhance your driving experience and help alleviate some of the quirks a stock 3 has when shifting.

An absolute must for MT drivers - this mod makes your shifts short and crisp. Its easy to install, pretty inexpensive, very durable, and simply effective. I previously had a JBR one that over time the pin where the shifter cable sat became loose… been running this CS short shift plate for quite some time now and can confidently say this one is built different.

Very very happy with this, absolutely love how the throw feels with this shifter plate. Install was quick and easy, no major work needed, really quickens up shifting and improves overall driving quality. Makes even a stock car feel sportier and more fun to drive.
