NA trans or NB?
Rebuilding the shifter is pretty easy, just lay out the parts as you take them off.
If you are rebuilding the shifter on an NB, I DO NOT suggest using a metal shifter bushing at the bottom.
There was one in one of the 949 racecars and we needed to use a tap to get it out. For a few moments, I thought the whole trans was going to need to be pulled to get it out.
its an NA trans. I have seen a few threads on the subject, but havent pulled the trigger yet. who would you recommend going through to get the parts? Mazda dealer? online?Originally Posted by kung fu jesus

Mazda dealer. Rebuilding an NA shifter requires a few more parts. There are three plastic bushimgs in the shift lever.
There are two plastic 'cups' and a wave washer on top. You have to remove the top cover on the shifter turret to remove one of them. You will need to re-seal it with RTV. Of course there is also the upper and lower boot, too.
what is RTV?

silicone sealant.
and i had never seen the order of how to tighten the bolts down on a VC gasket till today...
yeah i didnt know there was a specific order either, but luckily i over researched the topic of removing the VC

I thought there was a cork gasket there to do just that...
