Can't imagine that you have been in Japan for a month and still cannot speak Japanese.
I thought it comes with a Japanese manual
Knock yourself out. Mez did a thread.

MS shifter is the same, just a different the bottom plate for reverse gear.

Hopefully can do it this week. I need to install my LED parking lights first woot! I know that's easy, but usually I end up with scratches all over my hand hahahaha...

I've tried a Honda Accord Euro with short shifter (I used to own one as well so can feel the difference), and yeah, it was really good. So I can't wait to install this one on my car

Anyway, I've installed it weeks ago, and to tell you the truth, I'm far from happy with it. ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Don't think I'll buy any of the MazdaSpeed brand again, IMHO, they are over rated. I tried Kall's AFE short shift and AFE is definitely shorter than mazdaspeed. So anyone thinking to get mazdaspeed short shifter, DON'T! Save yourself some bucks and go for AFE.

I like Kall's shifter, but I prefer my stock one for daily driving to be honest. It could be a little shorter, but I find the throw quite comforting, and it's still shorter than the modified shifter in my other car.
