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

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 Mueller 09/01/2013, 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 Goodrich 08/16/2013, 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 Bahador 08/12/2013, 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 C 07/24/2013, 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?

Flat out amazing difference! I already had the bushing kit installed and while that made a very positive change, this kit makes the tranny feel like it should. Perfect snick-snick feel every enthusiast wants.

Install was insanely easy, even with removing the factory air box. Another winner from Corksport!

Great piece. Easy install. Have it set somewhere around 30% due to issues with cables rubbing at 40% on 07'MS3. But Corksport instruction clearly state not all vehicles run the same so fitment issue may occur depending on modifications. so Yes great piece and throw difference is noticeable and crisp.

Put this on at the same time as my CAI since everything was already open and exposed. Running at 40% on my Gen2 Speed3 and I love it. No more missed shifts from second to third, everything is right where I feel like it should be. Thanks CorkSport, job well done.

Quick and easy install on my 2012 ms3! Still trying to find a good spot for it. Slightly below the full 40% and have some issues down shifting from third to second but like they say, not all cars will work all the way. Other than that its awesome!

Alright while I gave this product an excellent rating the first time even though it did not work at the full 40 percent. Well this time around I used the weight that came with it and adjusted the shifter linkage back a bit under the center console. Bam! Running the full reduction. A truely awesome product!
