How To Install the Mazdaspeed 3 Short Shift Plate

It will take you Approx. 1 hour to install.

1 hour Install Time

2/5 Difficulty

2-Year Warranty

No CEL

Installed it, tried every setting (20% to 40% reduction), missed 3rd gear constantly on just 20%. Tried returning it, would only compensate for either shipping or the 20% restocking fee, neither were a guarantee that i was going to get a full refund. Poor product for the Gen1, not sure if they ever even tested it for us, just the Gen2's.

CorkSport Reply: The shift plate has been installed on one of our shop Gen 1 MS3s.

will it fit the Speed6 ?

Just installed this today in the driveway, instructions were clear and helpful I would only suggest this change, use a 10mm to pop the cable off the ball, and it comes off much easier.

The difference to shifting has been enormous, 2nd and 3rd are sooo crisp and flawless!!

I just installed this In my 09 MS3, I love it! It feels so much shorter than stock! I couldn't tell which Side was shorter tho, I had placed it where I thought I'd like it and I think it's great, but I'm wondering if putting it towards the right is shorter or to the left. Anyways I love it, took 10 mins to put in and instant results :) thanks CS for amazing products!

The best thing about CorkSport parts is the easy installation. This was nice little modification for the shifter. Better then stock and a good price to boot. Thanks CorkSport.

I LOVE IT! Honestly best thing ever. Reduced shift distance so good and so amazing. You can feel the difference right away and super easy install.

All I can say is WOW! Made shifting very smooth, and not having to put much force in shifting!

Scott Ellis 11/11/2013, 03:16 PM

For such a small piece of hardware, the difference it makes on the gear changing is fantastic! Sitting on about 35% reduced throw, I can shift quicker and smoother, especially between 2nd and 3rd. Very solid shifts with the OEM weight still on, but a heavier shift knob will probably make it even smoother!

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?
