RX-8 Shift Knob on 93 MX-6 W/Short shift

silversix2007 · 5-20-08, 23:54

Heyy guyz soo i'm kinda new to the forums, I've been a little apprehensive if you will about posting something online here. Though doubtless your expertise and threads have helped me do countless modifications to my car..

I have one simple question for any who wish to offer their advice.

I just bought a B&M Short shifter for a 93 MX-6 with a 6cyl so for shift knobs I was thinking y not the RX-8 stock shift knob cuz it's heavy and looks nice. Now i realize the fact that it's shaped like a rotor but I like the feel of the knob so i decided to ask u guyz if that would fit my short shifter if so let me kno what u think or any other kinds of shift knobs that u guyz recommend. I work as a 3rd year apprentice at a local mazda dealership so it will a little easier for me to get the RX8 knob..

Cheers,
Nish

if the thread on the short shifter is the same as the stock it should fit right on there. the only problem i have come across with the rx8 knob is that it is a 6 speed instead of 5.

hmmm A valid point and yes agreed that the fact it is a 6 speed hmm....but has anyone tried it... cuz tomm i'll ask my parts manager if I can use the display model to try on my car hopefully it goes my way...lol...

Oops forgot one thing to ask to ZEPOWER MX6.
Was there any modification to the shifter or the knob
that made it fit and hows the feel on the shifter...

**ZE Power MX6** · 5-23-08, 10:46

Yea it looks great, I just want one that with 5-spd letter on it. I like the feel, you won't be disappointed. Once I get the MSP knob I'm selling this one, interested?

I also run the RX8 knob. When I bought it I thought the MSP knob was to pricey but I think Im probablly gonna buy one now.

Mine is on a RR STS
