The self contained shifter assembly bolts directly to the transmission ensuring every component from the gated shifter plate to the shifter turret operate as one cohesive unit, preventing rattles and any misalignment.
I’d been wanting a gated shifter basically from the second I got my Miata. Finding this one was a dream come true! And it most certainly lives up to it. It’s everything I wanted it to be, and more. Very high quality. Definitely worth the price.
Ive always wanted a gated shifter for the miata and this one fits the bill in every way. I’ll never have another miata without this gated kit and im on my 5th miata
I started following Ryans work when he first mentioned he was in the process of designing a gated shifter, His work is nothing short of amazing, it complements my interior so well, i look forward to seeing what he has in store next,
This shifter kit by Minottek is not only a piece of art but is backed by a sensational experience. The kit fits beautifully inside the oem miata interior. Every gear change is an experience with this kit and it feels phenomenal. Truly the best shifter kit money can buy!
This shifter is everything it says and more. I wasn’t sure as the old shifter was not bad but this one is like going to the next level. So glad I purchased it.

”Pistol” Pete’s Mud-yata
Pete’s former SCCA autocross car turned bad weather lifted daily driver has been well loved for the better part of 15 years. This attention-grabbing NA Miata on 27in mud tires proved to be instrumental during testing and helped secure a rattle-proof design both on and off road.

Griffin’s Drift-Prepped NA8
Griffin’s InstagramEach part of the kit was conceptualized, prototyped, and test fit on Griffin’s NA. During the prototype phase, Griffin kindly put the Gated Shifter kit through some light drift testing to ensure the shifter would hold up under the subsequent driveline torture of a prepped drift/street car.
