• Enhances the overall feel of the shifter, giving you better feedback and control.
• Durable construction that withstands the rigors of aggressive driving and long-term use.
• Optimized for use in manual transmission Mazda Roadsters, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable performance.

Construction & Design

The Cusco Shift Stick Collar is engineered with precision from high-grade urethane, a material chosen for its excellent durability and stiffness. Its design features a one-piece construction that ensures consistent performance and longevity. The collar is crafted to fit snugly around the shift lever mount, replacing the softer OEM rubber bush. This upgrade minimizes flex and unwanted movement, translating into a more direct connection between your gear shifter and transmission.

The collar's compact and robust design integrates seamlessly with the existing shift assembly, maintaining factory mounting points and ensuring a straightforward installation process. Its resilient material resists wear and deformation over time, making it a reliable upgrade for daily driving or competitive motorsport use.
