Short Shifter
 
Any companies make a Short Shifter for the Protege? Actually... now that I think about it... didn't the MP3 come with one? If so, that'd bolt right in, no?

The mp3 has an extender removed to make it appear shorter. The throw however is the same. Do a search and your bound to find some info on how to remove the extension. For a shorter throw b&m makes a short throw shifter. Try protege5online.com.
I know they have it for something like 145$$. Enjoy the info!

Thanks for the quick reply.. I'll definitely look into that.

Hang tight for a little longer..We'll have the Mazda Short Shifter avalable in the next few weeks.
we just released the shifter bushings earlier this week.
thanks

Aww shucks. I always thought the MP3 shifts had a shorter throw than the normal Proteges. Because the price for that entire piece from the MP3 vs. B&M is about the same price in Toronto.

Traveler June-2nd-2002 10:50 PM

Hey Tom, are you going to include the bushings with the short shifter? What kind of pricing?

Tom@kartboy June-2nd-2002 11:31 PM

we will be selling a shifter combo much like we have for the subarus. that retails for 125.00 (most likely we'll have a special intro price for a little while)
the shifter will be sold seperatly and the bushings too. in case a customer only wants one or the other.

i will try and give you a update in the next day as to a more definate ETA on the kits. they are still being turned at the CNC shop as of thursday last week

Woah that's a good price! Too bad you're in Alberta, not Ontario. :(

Do you guys have a Mopac out in Ontario somewhere? That's where I got the quote from and I'm sure the price would be the same out there. Oh...except we don't have PST out here... :P

How much do the B&M shifters cost out there in ON?

the throws are quite a bit shorter...its a BIG differnce...

firefly June-7th-2002 07:38 PM

Pro_fan: would it be possible if you buy the shifter and ship it to us? We don't have Mopac in ON. I ran a search on the yellowpage and it's only in Calgary and Vancouver. Here in Ontario the cheapest I've seen is $360 + tax. I'm sure there are better deals out there but it won't be even close to $209.

Even with shipping it'll be cheaper than getting it from the States...and only one tax too.

Tom@kartboy June-7th-2002 08:40 PM

We got the first few finished tday. we'll be installing them in a few local cars to make 100% sure its right.
we should be able to have them for mass consumption within a week. :)
intro pricing is as follows:

Shifter 85.00+Shipping

Shifter Combo 100+Shipping

Bushings are still 20+Shipping.

i will make a proper announcement when they are completed
thanks
