One of the most universally praised traits of Japanese sports cars of the '80s and '90s was their exceptional shift action. CRXs, Miatas, MR2s and RX7s all seemed to nail the right combination of slickness and positivity to make shifting an absolute delight—which was good, because keeping their peaky motors on boil required some gear rowing.
But many of the mechanisms …
Nice
I went and checked my 94 MR2, and HOLY BATMAN, your OEM knob is so much bigger than mine!!

They went to a lower profile knob when the first facelift happened.

Makes sense. I never liked the 91-92. My 93T Turqouise had the smaller knob. 94-95s are my favorite, thus I sold the 93.
I don't own an MR2, but love them just the same. Well done and documented how-to, the type I'd love to see more of in GRM..
Are you guys really discussing shift knobs ? Really ?

One thing I love about MR2 people is they will absolutly go full-Trekkie over minute uear-to year changes in completely insignificant features. "Ooh how did you get that '88 ashtray to fit in an '86 console without trimming the hinges?" is an actual conversation you may hear between MR2 people.
In reply to JG Pasterjak : Whilst we 300ZX people will discuss more important issues such as the color of the rivnuts found behind the inner fender liner.
Was wondering why all the shift linkage, then remembered - mid engine, Trans not under the driver so to speak. Do any FR cars have such linkage?
