Shifter Rebuild??

[POS Racing]

Wasn't there a breakdown somewhere on the interwebs of the parts required to rebuild the shifter for and NA 5-Speed?

Can someone point me towards it??

TIA

(I'd make it a link, but all my reply options are blank squares??)

Or i can post the parts microfiches and you can grab part#s off that, but the cr.net link makes them much easier to find.

Try a ctrl+F5... that issue *should* be fixed. Let me know if the force-refresh doesn't fix it, and I'll check this side again.

Nope. I have to do that every time just to post since the entire page always loads in the reply box (only on my home computer though - no issues on my phone).

Just so we're on the same page, this is what I'm talking about:



If I mouse-over the blank boxes, a little box will pop up telling me what it is (how I posted this pic). But like I said, I have to hit crtl+F5 to even clear the reply box so I can actually reply, so it definitely doesn't bring those boxes back for me.

Back on topic. Unless the parts are broken, I wouldn't replace them. I've seen the little cup washer broken or gone maybe twice in all the years at TDR. I've only seen one bushing and wave washer damaged. I've never seen a locator (slot) bushing wear out. Typically, replacing the torn boots and replacing shifter turret oil with fresh gear oil is all it needs.

IMHO, Properly rebuilding the shifter makes quite a difference.
Imagine how many shifts there were in 150k+ miles.
I see quite a few shifters that need work, but I do a lot of clutches, and inspect the shifter as part of a clutch job.
also using light oil, it amazing how many have 90wt.

Well I decided to pull the shifter tonight since it just didn't feel right.....


I'm assuming the pile of plastic is the remnants of the bushing that goes on the end of the shifter.

I blame the child of IMVIVID.

I'm still trying to figure out all the parts I need I've found this picture just trying to figure out what all the part numbers are so I can order this stuff from Mazdaspeed.

Opps should have specified this is for the POSIV (1994 Miata).

The Mazdaspeed parts breakdown doesn't seem to line up with what I pulled out of the car or what the above picture from Arlington Mazda shows.

Lower left is the Bushing, Shifter p/n 0398-17-462a
Top Center plastic part is the Bushing p/n M501-17-515
Top Center Flat Washer is Shim, Adjust p/n 996-33-330
Right hand side Wave Washer M505-17-482

But the 2 bushings in the center I'm just not sure about..... On my car they are not the same the one on the top of the shifter ball is shorter than the one the rides below the shifter ball. The Club Roadster link looks like they may not have it setup correctly.

Here is a picture of my shifter as it came out out of the car.

6-speeds are different. Did you look at the parts pdf on M.net?

Here is the assembly picture.

So I'm thinking the 2 "other" bushings in the center of the picture are covered by p/n 8AN1-17-481 BUSH SET,CHANGE LEVER.

Can anyone confirm this for me?

The picture on that shifter looks differenent than mine.


Note how the half round is in the lower bushing only and the upper bushing is shorter than the lower bushing. Which looks like what I see in this picture.

I've got some shifter bushing parts left over from when I redid the shifter on my 99. Think I somehow managed to get some NA shifter parts that didn't work on my car.

I've got two of the flat washers 9996-33-130, one of the wave washers, the plastic shim piece that goes into the side of the shifter turrett ball (shown inside the flat washer in the picture, 17-152 in the parts diagram), and possibly the lower 2" bushing that your trying to figure out the part # for. the part number on the side of the package says M501-17-481.

You're welcome to take any or all of it.
