I just got my new short shifter and i was wondering if im able to run the lowest possible throw (top hole, row 2,) without a shortshifter plate? It feels like the shift cables bind up or the gear shift is not in the correct position and i was just wondering if the plate was absolutely needed to get the shortest throw
Yes you can run the lowest throw without needing a shift plate. The shift plate is not recommended to be ran in conjunction with the shifter.
What is the thread pattern of the shifter? I bought a new shift knob but none of the adapters seem to fit so I want to make sure I have the right size in mind before buying more
10x1.25
Just curious if there has been any adjustments or modifications to the shifter recently. I have seen a lot of post talking about the alignment and how it’s off to the left or how it’s doesn’t sit in the same neutral spot as OE. Thanks, Tyler
No its still the same. Our rod does not curve to the side like OE. Thats how you get the height adjustability. You won't notice the slight to the side difference when you're driving.
Again, a question from Japan. I'm sorry if it's a strange text because it will be translated and written. 2010-2013 Does a malfunction occur when the Mazdaspeed 3 Adjustable Short Shifter and Mazdaspeed 3 Short Shift Plate are installed together? Please answer as international calls are difficult.
There is a possible risk of binding the shifter cables. If you plan to run both. Keep the shifter plate on the lowest setting
This is a question from Japan. I'm sorry if it's a strange text because it will be translated and written. 2010-2013 Can the Mazdaspeed 3 Adjustable Short Shifter and Mazdaspeed 3 Short Shift Plate be installed together? Also, is it possible to attach it to mazdaspeed3 in Japan? Please answer as international calls are difficult.
They can be installed together technically, But, we recommend installing only one or the other.
Does it work with short shifter plate ?
It can work, but we recommend running one or the other.
What’s the difference between the one offered for 10-11 and the one for 12-13?
There are several differences, the arm height on the top and the location of cable attachment points a reversed.
Will this fit on gen 3 Mazda 3?
It will not, the 3rd gen uses a different shifter assembly.
Does this retain the OEM reverse lockout feature (required push-down of knob)? thanks,
Yes, it Does.
Silver spring from OEM shifter won't fit corksport short shifter after so much usage. Can I buy one of these from you guys?
Are you referring to the centering spring that is placed on the side of the assembly? It should fit. Give us a call if you haven't already figured this out. Sorry for the delayed response.
Will this fit on a 5-speed mazda3 2010?
6-SPEED Only.
Will gen 2 fit on gen 1?
We offer both.
I'm hesitating between getting "Short Shift Plate and Shifter Bushings" set or this "Adjustable Short Shifter". What are pros/cons between the two? Can or should I get both? Thank you
Give our sales team a call and they can help you make the correct decision 360-260-2675
i just got a used one of this shifter part#axl-6-963-10 will this work on 2013 mazdaspeed3?
If the bar code ends in a -10 it will not. Email sales@corksport.com if you do not have the original box and we can ID which version and fitment it is.
Will this work with an aftermarket ACT clutch?
The clutch does not make a difference. Yes it will work.

Does it work for a 2012 mazda 3 5 speed??

I was the beta tester for this shifter. My overall impression of this is that its probably one of the best mods we can have, for the price. This removed all of the sloppiness the oem shifter has. Throws are definitely more precise, and on point. Having driven speeds, both gen1 and gen2, that had the TWM full replacements, there is a difference, not only price wise, but the fact that i was able to adjust the height, and throw, saved my pinky from being smashed into the ashtray lid.
Installation is very easy, the instructions are spot on. I had it installed in under 45 mins, and 15 mins to adjust the cables.
Shifter has handled all the beatings I've thrown at it on the street, and i look forward to using this next week at the Epic Meet at the track.

Will this work well with your shifter plate already installed?

Ordered the shifter Thursday, received and installed today (Tuesday), and so far I love it. The throws are a lot shorter (customizable) than even my short shift plate I had installed, and the ability to adjust the height is also a great feature as well. The shifts felt more precise and overall really smooth. Install wasn't bad at all, an hour give or take a few minutes sounds about right (you're probably going to spend a few extra minutes adjusting the shifter's height and throw to your liking). Really pleased with the product, it's definitely a must-have, even for every day non-spirited driving. Thanks again for an A+ product.

Can this be used with the short shift plate or do you have to put the original one back on. Thanks

Is there a skyactiv shirt shifter available?

Put it in last night!! Although I had a problem with getting the Shift Cables off of the base and getting the Shifter Cup out of the base installation was a breeze! Shifting this morning on my way to work was amazing! so smooth! Very Precise! Short Throws! Highly Recommended!!! Thanks Corksport!

Will there be a 5 speed version of this in the near future? If you need someone to test it, I don't live close but I am more than willing to help out.

Will this be coming out for the speed6

What about in combination with the short shift plate? 75% reduced throw if both set to max reduction, hmm? I like the idea, if not in conjunction with the plate then what different effect is there vs the plate? The plate reduces the throw to 2, 4, 6. Where is the reduction most evident on this? How much lower vs stock height does this adjust to?
Thanks!
