Thanks for watching folks. If you like fast cars I have lots of videos about my Mazda MX-5 racecar too here: ua-cam.com/play/PLongVur9FFhpXiA_xmcTCDQ7xSQya_PQx.html
Instead of cutting the white ring on the shifter, you can use some WD40 or any spray lubricant to help slip the rubber boot off the shift knob. Same trick to reinstall it.
Yeh! done right finally...Only thing I did different was add some silicon grease to the new upper ring and location spigot.....made it less notchy to start with.....thinking about tapping the spigot out to 8mm and turning a smooth spigot rather than running on bolt threads.
@@mrmax92i the picture of the instructions was very blurry but it wasen't too hard to install. Shift's are little bit stiffer and slide in like a riffle lock! Feels like a racecar
Hoping someone sees this: 1. My kit has only came with one metal+plastic bushing(without a notch). The online kit only shows one so do you have to buy a second one with a notch separately? 2.The nipple/nub on thick metal bushing(where three screws go into place): if I point it towards the back of the vehicle, the nub is on the top of the bushing(therefor incorrectly installed based on the video. However, if I flip it so the nub is on the bottom of the bushing, I have to turn the so the nub points towards the front of the vehicle. Is this a problem? Incorrect installation? Or maybe a slightly different kit? please help….
You don't have any for the 5-speed NB '01-'02 on your website. Plus the 6-speed option is still quite expensive ($320). How is this more compelling than one from MiataRoadster ($350)?
Hi Darrin, Thanks for watching! Our 5 speed short shifter will fit all 5spd equipped NB's. You can choose the NB option from the drop down box when adding it to your cart. Note that here in Australia, all 01-02 NB's came in 6spd. Our 6spd option is currently priced at $320 AUD, and so offers great value over the $350USD + shipping for one from Miata Roadster for our Australian customers.
Does the shifter make any rattle noises? Cuz I bought a short throw shifter from miata roadster and make some faint rattle noises. Just wanted to know if the kit from beavis motorsports makes no noise or if its the same.
He does stock them, they are a bit dearer though. Still cheaper than any other six speed short shifter on the market however. beavismotorsport.com/store/quick-short-shifter-for-mazda-mx-5-6-speed-na-nb-01-05.html
Installed last night on race/track MX5 with NA5 speed, gears are very close together now. Does this increase chance for MONEY shifts? I have always used OEM shifter with tall shift knob. thanks for the chanel very good material!
@@Bbeavis from a friend but looks exactly like the shifter in your video. Same parts in the kit. Seems to shift ok in garage, not really able to drive much on street car not street legal. Just wondering your experience vs OEM and the does the increase the possibility of $$$$$$ shifts?
@@Bbeavis yeah, guess I will wait for next race (OCT) and take OEM parts in bin ready to change if I do not like the way this one works. Sadly my commuter car is a NB with an "Automatic" we know how much you like those cars, but I have to say the NB auto for day to day traffic is not really that bad. Still has 14" tires so gets up to speed pretty quick....
@@lil_mac380acp2 Retail the OEM shifter, replace any worn bushes with replacement oem parts from your local parts supplier/dealer spare parts. Usually that is all that's required to fix most peoples shifter issues.
nice job... mounting right over the old crappy oil with pieces of the old desintegrated white bushing, and did not refill oil... thats how you change the shifter.. not how you change properly...

The intro made me question my sexuality
Yeah sometimes I wonder what I was thinking doing that.
The intro made me question my life

This is 100% true
BEAVIS Motorsport felt kinda dumb after watching the rest of the video lol. You kinda give this tip at the end :)
Daniel Hankewycz hah yeah I should've made the suggestion at the start really, my bad!
Watched this video the first time I installed my short throw shifter watched it again when I swapped transmissions. Helped me twice thanks 🤙🏻
Thanks Mr Gorilla!
Yeh! done right finally...Only thing I did different was add some silicon grease to the new upper ring and location spigot.....made it less notchy to start with.....thinking about tapping the spigot out to 8mm and turning a smooth spigot rather than running on bolt threads.
Probably not a bad idea if you have a lathe to be able to do it! Thanks for watching!
THX a lot. I just bought the same shifter you use in the video, and it came without an installing manual... so your video saved my ass :)
Glad to be of assistance mate.
thanks for the video, my short shifter is installed and working !
Thanks Clinton, hope its going well. :)
Thanks for the vid! A lot of us needed this.
Cool!
Another great clever video! Keep em coming beavis!
Ill be looking to spend some $ on your site. I want one of these shifters. I hope you folks ship internationally.
Thanks James.
Looks like a quality kit. Good job!
Thanks Mate!
ayy mine already had one when I bought it , I could probably replace the transmission down the line and keep the short throw shifter
You sure could!
is your girlfriend questioning your sexuality?!? “MmMmmMmmMmM”
Yes.
welp all three bolts holding the old shifter in place snapped lol ... i’m fucked
Oh wow, you must have strong hands!
finally someone that installed it correctly. lol
You've seen heaps of people do it wrong too huh?
yes. literally every time.
Very specific video. I'm about to do the same thing installing a ilmotorsport short shifter this weekend to my nb
Good luck with your install Family Guy. :)
Yooo, how was the install of the IL motorsport short shifter? I might upgrade mine too. Thx for the reply!
@@mrmax92i the picture of the instructions was very blurry but it wasen't too hard to install. Shift's are little bit stiffer and slide in like a riffle lock! Feels like a racecar
@@eddiew10 Would you recommend or not? Thx for the reply!
@@mrmax92i 160€ i think its worth the money
Hi did this help out on hard not to find the gears.?.
It can help with poor shift feel, you may also just need to replace your oem shifter bushes.
This video just saved my ass
haha, no worries, thanks for watching!
I may need to pick one of these up.
Thanks!
I have the same hardware and same stuff but my shifter won't fit in the turret. I cannot get the last rubber washer to fit on top. Help!!!
Sorry to hear that buddy hope you work it out.

It doesn't matter if the dowel pin points toward the front or the rear.

We've certainly never experienced any rattles nor heard of any from others using our kit.
Looks great bud! Cracking effort.
Would you be able to make one for the stock 6 speed please?
Kind regards Ryan Joint

I actually answered the 6 speed question in the video.
Can you make a video installing a Nissan 300Zx 90-96 short shifter in a Protegé 99?
Sorry but I cannot, I only really know MX-5 miatas.
BEAVIS Motorsport Ok. I think it’s almost like the Miata but thank you very much!! I’ve learned a lot with the video.
During the short shifter installation, the lower rubber boot is no longer needed？
They don't fit well with short shifters.
@@Bbeavis oh damn, i purchased a lower boot with the short shifter.
would this fit a 2002 mazda 323 sp20?
Yes, If a 2002 mazda 323 sp20 uses the MX5 gearbox.
so does this kit makes the shifter shaft shorter or no ？
Not physically, no.

@@grantheathman I think its a driver preference thing, some people prefer the OEM shifter, some prefer the short shifter feel.

@@grantheathman I have an Auto MX-5 myself, nothing wrong with it, just not as "raw" as a manual transmission.
where can I get this
Many many locations online sell short shifters.
The hell was that intro lol
Just gettin' you interested :-)
the shifters are out of stock when can more be expected??
Hi Renotz, Best to get in contact via www.beavismotorsport.com for confirm stock availability.
Do you sell a 5 speed shifter for a 1999 miata still?
Nope sorry buddy
BEAVIS Motorsport ok thank you
BEAVIS Motorsport what other shifters do you recommend?
@@lil_mac380acp2 Retail the OEM shifter, replace any worn bushes with replacement oem parts from your local parts supplier/dealer spare parts. Usually that is all that's required to fix most peoples shifter issues.
BEAVIS Motorsport my shifter pops out of first gear and sometimes grinds
Great video, know anyone who's selling a Miata Nb in Melbourne which s good for daily use ?
Thanks
Nima your best bet is to check out the local facebook mx5 pages, ' mx5 for sale' groups, and carsales.com.au
You have them for a nc model and ship it to Europe?
Sorry I do not have any for the NC.
do you still sell this NB short shifter?
No sorry mate.
Can this work for a b2200?
Very likely, I have heard that the b2200 is the same as mx5 miata transmission.
Don't see how being short make your girlfriend thinking you are sexy.
No girl likes a short man.
thank's men ^^
Cool!
nice job... mounting right over the old crappy oil with pieces of the old desintegrated white bushing, and did not
refill oil... thats how you change the shifter.. not how you change properly...
Are you always this angry buddy?
@@Bbeavis sometimes...
im tinking about buying one of those..
1 question... arent those short throws much stiffer?
Ship to ‘murica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅 I’ll buy a bunch of stuff
I'm sure there are plenty of local sources for all the Miata parts you could ever need :-)
BEAVIS Motorsport I mean I guess flyin miata has everything I need...:/
