IRP - Short Shifter Mazda MX-5 NC / Fiat 124 Abarth 6-speed

Stop "rowing" through gears and start clicking. The factory throws in the MX-5 NC / 124 Spider is charming, but for the driver who demands clinical precision, "charming" isn't enough. Engineered for those who prioritise motorsport-grade feedback without compromising the car's soul, the IRP Short Shifter transforms your cockpit into a high-performance command centre.

Crafted from premium, CNC-machined aluminium, this shifter doesn't just shorten the distance between gears, it eliminates the vagueness. Every shift becomes a tactile, mechanical "click," giving you the confidence to downshift under pressure and find the next gear with zero hesitation.

WHAT IS A SHORT SHIFTER?

A short throw shifter reduces the distance between gear changes to deliver faster, more precise, and sportier shifts. Its taller design shortens travel from the steering wheel to the knob, enabling quicker gear changes. It ranks among the most effective upgrades for both race and street cars. Providing drivers with sharper feedback, better control, greater confidence behind the wheel, and an authentic, connected driving experience that makes you feel one with your car.
