This is an old photo from my gear stick (knob changing and a small modification in the part beneath it)

 

 

 

How it looks now, many things must removed to work properly.

because my console is lower than this MX-5 and every time i have to bend so my hand can reach it. 

Yes I know, I know the Favorit and MX-5 seating and driving positions, one is a five-seater family hatch the other a two-seater sports, many differences including gear lever length, I've never suggested you have your gear lever too short, my main suggestion to you has always been that I do not a short lever or quickshift/shortshift lever will not give you the results you want.

 

You may be able to make the existing system slicker by replacing or changing and bushes or links.  The red hard saddle improved the feel and slickness of the Ford Type 9 lever be it quickshift or standard lever or shortened standard lever - and I'm saying such a thing exists for you (AFAIK it no longer exists for the Ford even).

 

As you know a metal gear knob isn't a great idea when the sun gets on it, but with a tin-top perhaps you notice less.

 

If the photo you put up was a more modern MX-5 the interior it looks horrible to me.

I have tinted windows which reduce a bit the temperature from the sun.

Brushed aluminium or chrome knobs are prone to scratches and reflections.

I choose this one because had those 2 o-rings which help the grabbing especially in summer (Mountain Roads driving).

Do you like spaghetti? 

@Thefeliciahacker you see a lot of cables due to console and ashtray project plus i have installed rear electric windows.

Don't wear jewellery.  😄

 

Sometimes depending on the angle, the sun reflects especially on that chrome square frame of the console.

Yes, beauty demands sacrifices. 

I have found a relative video for Felicia.
