Operation - Mazda RX-8 2004 Service Highlights

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM
SELECTOR LEVER OUTLINE
• Operability has been improved due to the short stroke feature of the selector lever.
• Shift position has been optimized by the reduction of space achieved between the frequently utilized N and D
ranges. Due to this optimization of shift position, a quick and sporty shift operation has been achieved while the
sleek shift feeling of an AT is also maintained.
