]Hey guys, i am not that great on forums so i wanted to ask you all for help.
i have a 2007 true red mazdaspeed3
i was looking if there is any thread that might mention the Pitch and Diameter of the shifter Shaft, the silver stick that the shift knob screws into to.
i want to find a dial Machinery piece) that could be screwed on the shaft and create more and longer grooves , after doing so i will be taking out the washer that holds the shift boot in place and cut the shaft about one inch so i would have a shorter shaft. (just personal preference, for me it is a little bit more comfortable having it sit lower)
im aware that sell this type of shift linkage but im on a very tight budget and i have a friend that works in a shop and has access to all these tool so i fig i would make it myself but to help him help me, i need to find the these numbers.
do so, and do so properly, i want to find the pitch of the existing groove (i think that is what its called) and the diameter of the stick so i can cut and make it properly.
i have one worry though... where the stock washer is in place, it seems that the diameter of the shaft gets a tiny bit bigger.... would anyone know about those diameters too?
i kno this is kinda a hard request but i feel that if we kno this information we might get some other cool modifications to stock shift linkage without spending too much money.
i tried calling mazda dealerships and nothing. i been trying to get a hold of mazda corporation itself but i cant get a hold of them.
i have the tech manual for my car, i will be looking for it in there too but i dont think they have it.
if the information already exist then i apologize for the rant, i wasn't able to find it. (gah)
Thanks in advance
