New product announcement. This is a short-throw lever, precision-machined with the same lever ratio as the standard part. Its sliding bearing gives a direct shift feel with little play and helps greatly reduce missed shifts during fast gear changes. Chrome plating reduces friction and makes operation light and smooth. Applications: Mazda RX-7 (FC3S/FD3S); early FC3S accepts the later-model shift knob. Nissan Skyline (R32/R33/R34), Silvia (PS13/S14/S15), and 180SX (RPS13); other listed models are planned for development.
