Mazdaspeed Short Shifter

[///M]

Anyone know if the the Mazdaspeed Short Shifter for the Mazda6 (part number: GRMS-8M-H12) will work on the 3? If my memory serves me correct the 3 and the non-V6 6 share the same manual tranny.

[FLIPDADY]

The 3 and the 6 have completely different shift linkages so that kit won\'t work. Just get the one made for the 3 GRMS-8M-L11.

Oh cool...there is one for the 3?! Does Avante sell it?

ANOTHER GROUP BUY!!!

I\'m in for a SS kit. Reluctant to do TWM given the \"shift to the right\" issue.

GB, GB, GB!!!

[kl7402001]

[swales]

How much is the Mazdaspeed one?

I\'m up for a GB! I too didn\'t like the TWM because it moved everything to the right.

I just spoke to Mazda and they told me the shifter can only be purchased through a U.S. Mazdaspeed dealer.:sarc As far as the price goes, you\'re probably looking at least $400 plus just for the part.
Sorry guys/gals no group buy yet.

400 for a short shifter?!
Mazdaspeed parts aren\'t cheap...but $400...:( no SS for me then

I\'m just putting into account that the stock shift assembly costs $220.

anyone know whether the \"fix\" - putting spacers or pressing down on one side while installing (or something to that effect) - makes it any better?

If the MS SS is so dang expensive, will consider the TWM one. I hate making concessions though... :(

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to give you a heads up that we are now offering another version of the Mazda 3 shifter with a slight bend toward the driver due to similar requests. You can see it installed here:

I know and the price is higher now that you can only buy direct from them. Before you could buy one for $180cdn (still too expensive) but now you can only get them for $180USD direct from TWM :(

Hi Guys,

We strive to offer the best products to our customers at fair prices, and we enjoy supporting clubs and online communities such as this one. We are interested in a group buy and could make a special price for members of this forum. If we can get 10 people who are ready to purchase a Mazda 3 short shifter or short shifter/shift knob combo we could give a 10% discount below the current price along with free shipping via UPS. Payment could be made with PayPal, credit card over the phone, or money order.

Anyone who is interested please start a group buy thread and we can go from there.

Thanks,

Before anyone jumps at the \"UPS\" shipping method, TWM is a Canadian company, shipping out of Quebec. Kevin, jump in if I am mistaken of where the shifters would ship out from.

[miggiddy]

So what is the current price in CDN dollars?

They sell everything in US$, so it\'s $202.72usd including tax (before discount) so that\'s about $246cdn.

Yes that is correct. We are located about 1 hour east of Montreal and the products would be shipping from our office in Quebec. Shipping with UPS from our location to most of Ontario takes only 1 day, so if we put together a group buy and everyone paid promptly you would likely receive the shifters the following day.

Thanks,

swales is right, the current retail price including tax and shipping is about $246.00CDN. If we got 10 people together and applied a 10% discount, the price would be $220.00 CDN including tax, shipped to your door. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

If there is enough interest we\'ll start a Group buy thread. Who\'s in?

I\'m in, but it doesn\'t look like too many others are interested :(

[miggiddy]

I\'m interested, but concerned about warranty issues, especially since I bought the extended warranty, I\'d be pi$$Ed if a $200 part voids my 7 year warranty.

Hi Everyone,

We\'ve decided that rather than doing a group buy on the new Mazda 3 shifter we will offer a discount specifically for the online Mazda 3 community. Instead of you having to gather 10 people together to receive a discount we are going to offer the same discount to anyone here in the forum, available right now.

When you order your shifter, during the checkout process you will be asked for a promotion code, just enter MZD3TWM to receive your 10% discount! So the regular price (based on today\'s exchange rate) $235.95 CAD, the TorontoMazda3.com price is $212.35 CAD (plus GST). And as always, free shipping anywhere within the continental US and Canada.

This discount applies to the bent version of our Mazda 3 Shifter and shifter/knob combos. This offer is for a limited time and will expire on April 30, 2005 so place your orders today!
