What short shift is that? I absolutly love your interior...very nice and clean..just the way it should be. I'm not a fan of those wheels but to each his own. The rest is awesome. Good job.

Mazda armrest?

He mentioned a Turbo and NA model that shared a drivetrain with an American car...

I can't think of anything but the Ford Probe that had the same drivetrain as the Mazda MX-6...but I don't remember any of them being turbo.

I'm stomped

ding ding. They did come in both na and turbo.

Short Shift is factory OEM unit from E36 M3. Knob is from the E46 ZHP model. The nicest knob I've owned so far and I've owned a lot of them.

REALLY?!

I had no idea they came turbo, my friend had a Probe and I was asking him about this console, and even he said no MX-6 came turbo...going to research this a bit, cause now I'm curious!

I'm going to check up on ebay and score me one as well!

That shift knob looks like the one I have, except mine is weighted, although I could be wrong...is your's weighted?

There were MX-6 turbo models but not many. I've taken apart turbos and blow off valves from these before. I believe Edmunds.com also lists turbo models on their reviews.

I have that same weighted shift knob and worth every penny. I believe that is one of the few if not only weighted knob, not to mention short knob that BMW offers.

Afriend had an Mx-6 turbo and a Probe turbo, so I know they both exist.

I would have guessed a starion/conquest or the talon/eclipse.

Are there any other common place to get those knobs? I'm looking for a new one to replace the plastic/rubber one on my car.

The starquest never came with an armrest.
