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.

Very nice product, really shortens up the shift. It also made it easier to shift when cold, sometimes the shifter would baulk going into 3rd and 4th. Recommend pairing this upgrade with the shifter bushings for a very solid feel.

The installation takes longer than advertised as you have to remove the air box, ECU, battery and battery tray completely to access some of the bolts.

This is how this car was meant to shift. It works as advertised and gets rid that extra play/slop that I really disliked in this transmission. Makes 1st gear thru sixth gear seem like close neighbors vs. different zip codes. Also the instructions provided were excellent.

Read the instructions and it will be an easy install. I got the bushings and the shift plate, and they make a huge difference as a pair, feels amazing.

I've only had this short shifter on my car for about a week now but man you can truly tell the difference. Love the quality of the plate, it fit perfectly and was done in 10 minutes with the helpful instruction booklet. Keep up the great work!

Shifter plate changes angle of shifter cable and cause the cable to come off the bushing leaving you stranded. I have contacted cs and they have no answer to this problem. I would not buy this plate unless you plan on being on the side of the road often.

So I was going to write a review on the shifter bushings, but there is no review spot s here is my review.

The short shifter bracket is great. But I installed the bushings first, went for a drive and I actually think that there is a bigger difference with the shift bushings then the short throw. The shifts feel more responsive and direct. You know your in gear and there is no more slop in the shifter. The short shifter just shortened the throw on top of it. Great combo with the two together.

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.

Justin03/12/2015, 03:32 PM

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.

Dave03/10/2015, 04:54 AM

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?
