- The complete closed gear lever kit costs $ 549 and only takes 1 to 2 hours to install.
- Minottek is also in the final stages of the development of a closed gear lever for the NB Miata.
The Mazda MX-5 is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever developed and at a time when light cars with rear traction are becoming increasingly rare, Miata has already become an icon. Now, a company based in the United States has made the Na Miata even better, creating a closed gear lever to correspond to its characteristic quality of shift.
The kit was designed by Minottek to integrate transparently into the original MX-5 central console. Not only does it look like the game, but the kit is made from premium materials to make it feel as OEM as possible. These include a closed stainless steel gear lever shaft and a aluminum transmission turret support.

The closed controllers were perfected by Italian supercar manufacturers decades ago, but as the demand for manual sport cars fell, closed controllers have become obsolete. The great thing about this kit is that it includes each part necessary for installation and should only take 1 to 2 hours to adapt.
What is perhaps the most impressive in the Minottek kit is that it does not look like a cheap and sticky spare module. According to Minottek, more than 200 hours were spent developing the closed gear lever.
Unsurprisingly, the gear lever kit is not cheap, costing $ 549.95 in the United States. However, it is not too bad when you consider the pleasure that it will give drivers during driving.
If you do not have a Na generation miata but you think that this closed gear lever kit is for you, do not fear. The small business already develops a closed gear lever for the Miata NB, and they even have plans for a ND kit too.
