Pffft! Mine has 140K on it, over 10K behind the TII engine!

Regarding the shifter: I have had a Miata Short Throw shifter in mine since I did the turbo swap. No issues. Replaced all the bushings, and just replaced the boots. Also, realize that the short throw shifter is not really any shorter in height than the stock shifter.

Here is a pic of mine: Miata Short Throw shifter, 5spd RX-8 knob, IndyParts shifter and e-brake boots.
