Even with the CorkSport short shifter installed. , it shortens the throws considerably. Awesome improvement abd very easy installation.

If you want a notchy short throw do this plate plus the tougher bushings and a weighted shift knob. Best bang for your buck by far and have zero complaints with my shifter assembly. Feels almost clunky in a good way. Never slip gears and faster shift times are always good.

The short throw shift plate was the best transmission mod of my life! It doesn't take me a year to shift into gear anymore. I did the full 32% or 40% on the shift plate and isn't difficult to shift into gear at all. Pretty good mod to start out with! Install could be done by 5 month old babies. Corksport you never disappoint!

Forget remapping and intakes buy this first as it the best improvement to my car so far. Easy to fit and makes everything feel tighter and lighter. Very happy.

Scott05/07/2016, 10:24 AM

Install was easy. If you're running a short ram, removing it will give you better access. I set mine just right of center. Throws are ALOT shorter. 2nd to 3rd at 6k puts you right into full boost in 4th. I used the provided weight instead of retaining the OEM weight. Might swap back though. The lighter shifts just don't feel like they are landing like the heavier ones did. Going to run it for a few weeks and see if it feels more natural.

All in all, quality product. Does exactly as it says.

Does exactly what it says it would do. Love the short shifts. Shift are more crisp. Easy install.I highly recommend this if you want to reduce your shift throws.

J. M. Savoie07/15/2015, 07:21 PM

Took me about 30min to install, hardest part was removing the linkage off the ball joint. Other than that! a Great Product! I have it just below the full 40% decrease which is perfect for me! Combine with the shifter bushings, and the feel is 100% better! Thanks again Corksport!

Alex Garabedian05/12/2015, 11:46 AM

I installed this while at work still on the clock and no one noticed I even left. Very simple install thanks to the directions that came with it (even easier if you already have a SRI). Reduced my shifts to the lowest % (40% decrease I believe). First couple miles of driving took a little getting used to but after that throws feel great! Awesome product highly recommend.

Alexander Ratsimbazafy04/22/2015, 04:36 PM

This is an amazing mod!! It feels great when shifting with the corksport weight. The shifts are much more shorter and quicker. I recommend this to anyone who has a mazdaspeed.

Does this fit on the 6 speed 2010 2.5L Mazda3

Asked by Jeremy | 09/25/2021, 06:14 PM | 1 answer(s)

Would this fit on a 6-speed Mazda 3 2012 Skyactiv Hatchback?

Asked by William | 06/05/2019, 01:35 PM | 1 answer(s)

In one response you say it will fit both and another that it's Gen specific. Is it a universal plate for both Gen 1 and 2 Speed 3's?

Asked by Travis | 10/05/2018, 11:17 AM | 1 answer(s)

Is there a difference between the short shift plates for a gen 1 speed3 vs a gen 2 speed3. Or are they universal for the speed3 platiform?

If I have a \factory air box will this unit fit? I read instructions on the JBR product and it requires rubber risers on the factory box after installation.

I installed this about a week ago. 1st, 3rd, and 5th seem very short... But 2nd 4th and 6th still feel the same... I set it just barely over from full left. Using the OEM counter weight. Any suggestions/advice on how to make all the shifts feel the same? Or is it supposed to be this way?

This is an amazing mod for less than $100. It takes minimal time, most of it is spent getting the airbox out of the way. Running the full 40% reduction on my 2010 MS3 and it is amazing. Coupled with the CS Shifter Bushings, my shifts are fast and accurate. Amazing products.

Wouldn't have believed it if someone told me this would make such a difference! Took less than 10 minutes to install and at 40% it makes the trans feel brand new and like it never has. Shifts are tight and quick. Highly recommend this. 126k on the trans and it feels new again! No more crunch into second gear now.
