  • 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!

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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 ✌️

    • @SparkPlugProjects
      @SparkPlugProjects  Рік тому +1

      I have zero experience with transmission internals, you could try searching on transmission syncro issues since it's just a single gear doing it.

      It does make it the shifter itself lower/shorter. And the distance between gears feels shorter as well.
