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!

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?

Will this work for a speed6?

Asked by Austin | 08/22/2016, 09:56 PM | 1 answer(s)

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.

Asked by Fernando Anselmi | 06/10/2016, 09:39 PM | 1 answer(s)

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?

EXTREMELY easy to install. I actually had my girlfriend (no modding experience what-so-ever) install it for me. 40% is AMAZING

Easiest mod I've ever done. Best 100$ you can spend is on this and the bushing kit. Excellent product + great and very timely shipping = I'll buy everything I can from corksport. I suggest the same for everyone else. You WILL NOT go wrong. I promise.

First few times shifting I thought something was wrong. I would never believe how short the shifts are with this without experiencing this. Out right awesome. Easy to install and have never had it pop out of gear on me. Definitely worth the money.

Wow fast shipping & item was packaged very very well installed it in my 2012 MS3 @ 40% throw works great and also had very good instructions that I was able to install it in just 15 minutes. It feels so much better and more of a crisp feeling.

I hate to even post this cause most all of Corksports products are great, but my experience with this short shift plate was disappointing. After I installed it, I sat in the car and started working the gears..mine was as notchy as can be..I moved the pin to see if it would smooth out some..not much difference at all. I didn't bother with trying to drive the car, I just went ahead and removed it. :(
