Washers ?
Why would you need to put washers under ??
Mine now feels like it is notched steel when I shift

The way it shortens the shift is the bottom part of the shifter is longer. Closer to scraping the area under it. If you raise it you get more clearance. That is also why they tell you to remove the green peice.

yes, the pivot point is raised, and the bottom part of the lever is longer, and might hit the green piece.
So, I said that I would do another round of shifter this summer, but I'm still locked with paypal... and they are a bit slow when it comes to solve problems ...
so I'm sorry, for now we all have to wait :/

Sorry I don't have any suggestions but here is a pic. I have never experienced any grinding.

The shifter feels hard the first weeks, you will feel the gear engaging.
To be sure, you can disconnect de cables and see if the problem is still there.

Just got my '01 S yesterday and I'm interested. I think the Miata I owned years ago has ruined me for other shifters.

I loved my miata gearbox too !
I need you to PM me your informations (Name, adress, phone, and e-mail) so I can put you on my list.
I think most of the people that wanted one in the last month are in vacation, so I might have to wait for them if I can't find enough people :/

I think I solved my problem
I put some play back into the end bearings...not much just a tiny amount. I then used three 1/4 inch washers on the front two studs and 1 washer each on the back two studs of the mounting bolts for the shifter. This gave a slightly front up a tiny bit and moved the cables a bit further away from the "hump"
I took her out tonight and the shifting was much better than before

Hi
Glad you like it !
Does it feel better Dwight ? after a while you should get used to the feeling and not feel the "steps" much.
