1 hour Install Time

2/5 Difficulty

2-Year Warranty

No CEL

Easy to install seeing as I had the intake and battery already out. I went with 20% and Corksports weight I can tell the difference and the shifting is so much crisper.

this took about 1 hour or less to install and that's with my car having the stock airbox but the feel and distance of throw my god it's like actually having a short throw shifter it's awesome for the MS3 I say it's a must have.

Just installed. works great

James Brooks09/03/2013, 03:04 PM

The throw on this car is preposterously long, and i wanted a easy alternative to replacing much more expensive parts...

this was a great product and easy to install

James Mueller09/01/2013, 02:01 PM

Install took me about 20-25 minutes. I have Corksport Stage II Intake and did not remove it during install so working around it made it a little tricky but it is still able to be done (incase anyone was curious about accessibility). I set it to about 30-35% and wow!!!! it feels awesome. I used the Corksport counter weight as well and it feels so crisp and quick! So much better!

Installed this product about a week ago and really enjoy the shorter throws I'm currently using the cs shift weight and it is a lot lighter haven't tried the stock yet but the shorter throws are all I wanted. Now all I need is my shift knob I pre ordered and my wife won't have to worry about me buying parts. For at least two weeks.

Mark Goodrich08/16/2013, 07:46 PM

Love it. Set it to 40% in my 2013 MS3. I kept the stock weight on and like the heavy feel of it. This is the only way to go. FYI: the throw reduction is toward the pull portion of the shift. you will be about in the center of the stock shift pattern when in 3/4/6.

Reza Bahador08/12/2013, 02:08 PM

I installed this and what a difference. At first, I installed the plate with the lighter shift weight and had some trouble getting into 1st and especially 2nd gear. After adjusting the shifter a little I was able to have freedom of movement in 1st and 2nd. The light wieght shift weight was way too light for me. It felt like I had to force the shifter into gear. I ended up swapping back to the OEM weight and now it is heavenly. Paired with the shifter bushings it makes a night and day difference. I only rated 3 stars only because I was charged for a shift weight that I am not even using and I didn't even like it. The shift weight should be made an option.

If you own a Mazdaspeed 3 do yourself a favor and order this part for the vehicle. Super easy install. You'd be dumb not to have this installed as i think nobody wants the long throws the car has stock. Awesome short shift plate corksport you guys don't disappoint. 5 Stars!

Andrew C07/24/2013, 08:44 AM

Just ordered today i know Corksport will not dissapoint, im very excited to put on!

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?
