Daily Driver Upgrade - Protege Shifter Bushings and Megan Short Shift
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2019
- Installed Exile Autoworx solid shifter bushing kit and an Ebay Megan short shifter on our 2002 Mazda Protege 5. This process should be similar for most Mazda Protege's.
These bushings combined with a short shifter provided an overall a major change in the fun and feel of shifting gears!

Glad to see you putting more content out👍 nice video
Thanks man, Yeah it's been a minute for sure.
Nice to see u back and keep work on cars
Thanks, sorry for the content drought
Thanks for the video,I was looking for a video on how to change this on my car glad I could find this content very helpful 👍
Awesome, My main goal is just to help someone searching for answers!
Great video. I appreciate the detail and the links you provided. Thank you!
Thanks, appreciate it!
I was loathing dealing with that third link, this video helped me get over to it, Thanks
Same for me, Wasn't too bad once I got into it.
Trying to bring my protege5 back to life
Do it! They're good cars, underrated for sure
Awesome tutorial brotha.
I think it's about time for a new video. Your channel has so much potential!
On the hunt for another project, the Nissan truck didn't really pan out for something to work on, i'm just keeping it stock
Great stuff man, I'll be ordering these for my Protege5 and will put them in my build series videos as well. Thanks man, great content!
Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback.
@@SparkPlugProjects for sure! It did help me, I just couldn't get the front two replaced since they're rusted in place hahaha.
This repair video was informative thanks bro
Glad I could help!
Awesome video. Love my P5. I've heard EG and EK Civic shifters fit on our cars!
Thanks, it's a good little car. Not sure about other shifters but good to know we have options!
@Juan Sergio wtf is wrong with you?
Man why no more vids man , very good content and entertaining vids specially when you had the talon!
Life and Money my friend, I'll be back at it soon. Thanks for the support
Great video. Will this fit an 03 as well?
Cool. So the Mazda protege 5 has a FSDE engine right? Cause I have a Ford Lynx RS locally being sold here in my country. It also has a FSDE engine. My theory is that the transmission is the same with both cars so i want to install a short shifter. I want to as if I could get a link of those parts you've bought online.
I'll be copying what you've done as well with the installation process. The FSDE has it's fair share of problems but it's still a great engine.
I wonder if this bushing kit fits the BA-chassis 323F, which is what i have. The shifter in it is super sloppy.
Helpful video! Do you know the shift knob thread size and pitch? Is it the same as stock? Thanks.
For this shifter I did reuse the factory shift knob. The metal ones get a little hot in the summer. Not sure on the actual thread size though.
Hello, i have a 1994 protégé would this work with the exile bushings? It looks exactly the same i just want to ask before i buy them. And also i want to replace my gear shifter bar as well but i dont know which one i can buy.
Big question i have a mazda protege 2003 2.0 DX and i need to replaced the part u take off the 2 longers arms or linkgage . Ddo u know where i can buy it and what is the real name ? Please thanks
Hey man what's the specific short shifter i need to buy... I got a Mazda 323 1.6dohc
I know you said it was a megan shifter but I have trouble finding it do you have something so I can narrow down the search?
Will that short shifter work on my 2003 mazda protege???
Awesome video! Do you know if this process is the same for a 2003 Protege5? Totally going to do this if it is!
Should be the same, I think the chassis are identical. Would be worth just scooting under your car and double checking it all looks like the video though.
@@SparkPlugProjects 😁 I actually already did it on my 03 model year P5 and it was the same. Only issue was the heat shield rubbing on the bottom which I solved by bending it down with my hands. Great modification for the money.
What short shifter did you end up using? I just picked up an 03 today and the shifter has a good amount of slop.
@@Jamesc00ls0x I went with the same Megan Racing SS that was used in this video, and it fit fine in my 03 P5. Mine still has some slop, but the major downside is the rattling noise for me. I'm going to get under there and try to put some shims or spacers in as well as tightening things up.
@@Jamesc00ls0x Oh, and if you want some more detailed information, make a thread on the protege5.com (M247) forums. Still a few great people on there who can help you out.
My P5 pops out from 3rd gear itself, but if I keep my hand on it - it does not. What do you think, is the transmission and engine mounts could be an issue? Oil I did change already, it's much smoother shift, but again it pops out from the 3rd gear only itself... Thanks ✌️
I have zero experience with transmission internals, you could try searching on transmission syncro issues since it's just a single gear doing it.
Hello, l'm from malaysia, which website can buy
Where did you get the short shifter? I know this was made almost 2 years ago, but I’ve tried 3 difference sites, including Megan racing itself and they’re all out of stock.
It was from Ebay, Here is the exact description - Megan Short Shifter w Knob Fits Escort 92-99 ZX2 97 - 01 Protege 99-02 SS-FES93
Hope that helps
RalcoRZ do short shifters for the 323 Protege, pretty sure it will be the same as the P5 but thats where i just got mine from
Did the megan shifter actually worked like di it actually redced how tall and are the shiftering shorter, i already change my shifter bushing in my 97 and 93 ford escort using the exlie and um i want to make it shorter so did this megan short shifter do anyting
It does make it the shifter itself lower/shorter. And the distance between gears feels shorter as well.
Would this also work on the Mazdaspeed protege?
If it's the same year the chassis are pretty similar. I'm not 100% though
Bro una pregunta y si tenes los cambios cortos con esa palanca
Short throw
Link?
Will this parts work for a 2002 protege .... not protege 5 thanks
I would think so, but not 100% if the linkage is the same.
@@SparkPlugProjects its all the same
Did you get the 1pc, 2pc, or 3pc set?
3pc
I have the same car but it’s automatic how do I turn it into a manual?
You have to change the transmission lmao
What bushings are those?
