WTB NB2 MiataRoadster Shifter 6 Speed
#4
Not sure why anyone would want to sell their MR SSK (they're a brilliant upgrade) unless it was to upgrade from the MR standard-height SSK to the MR long/tall-angled SSK (even better than the standard-height SSK).
Quit being a tight-****, they're on special now so buy one now and support a site-sponsor; once you've installed it, you wont actually care how much it cost because it's a massive upgrade over the OEM shfter (unless yours happens to be one of those rare Aisin 6-speeds that doesn't **** you off every now and then because you can't find reverse or you accidentally change into the wrong higher/lower gear).
You get new shifter boots too with the MR SSK!

You can always just get Miataroadster's angled extension if it's a short/straight one that's FS: MR-SE-4-A-BR - MiataRoadster shifter extensions - MiataRoadster - High-performance service...and parts for Mazda Miata Roadsters

Yep, first thing I did was message someone on here who did a Getrag swap. Exact scenario I was hoping for.

Just fyi...
there are plastic inserts on the sides of the ball, i broke those, the oem piece is just solid metal... And the bottom shifter bushing is plastic, cracked that... And it doesnt have a dampener like oem, so it translates varying amounts of shrill drivetrain noises into the cabin (just happened to be a frequency in my ears resonant plateau, and was deafening) and vibration to the selector rods. (Vibrated the set screws off one of them)
Not knocking the product, i have driven a few and they look and feel fantastic, and it's mostly designed very well.
Make sure to order a bronze shifter bushing from 5x racing (iirc) to go with your mr shift kit.

Make sure you actually like a tall shifter and/or an angled. I found I liked neither and like my shifter just a few inches taller than stock, and straight. With the angled shifter I found money shifts to be much easier. I really, really like my Jass STS. I even have enjoyed my two ebay/ralco STS kits. Even had one in my quaife 5 speed. I'd also recommend a Delrin Tip Bushing over the bronze or aluminum.

You are absolutely right. Its all karma, balancing out my wrongdoings.
Im not sure what Ive done to upset you, I am just trying to help people where I can. If that means revealing the potential downsides of certain mods, based on my own experience, thats what I share.
I have steered people towards your turbo kit, you remain a good vendor in my eyes, sorry if something Ive said contradicts that.

Grey metal is aluminum, that would be the aftermarket Mazdaspeed bushing. Several companies (5x and others IIRC) sell a bronze version. Miataroadster sells a delrin version.
The OEM one is white nylon.

The net result is that, in my opinion, you shine an unfair negative light onto vendors, likely without intending to.
If you make it to MRLS, bring a pair of earplugs and I'll scare you in Rover.

Im talking about the slots in the side of the shifter fulcrum. Oem is just machined slots, mr has inserts that fit with little pegs into the fulcrum. Bill does sell them separaty, so its not a big deal. Reflecting on this, maybe this is a positive change, as wear is isolated to cheap replaceable parts, instead of the whole shifter.
Deal. Thanks for the honest feedback, Ill really try to adjust myself.
