Want a gated shifter for your Mk1 Mazda MX-5? You can now have one for £450
Offered by small-scale start-up Minottek, there’s also one planned for the Mk2 MX-5
Open-gate manual gearboxes are wonderful things: they look classy and feel satisfying to operate. Though, they’re normally reserved for supercars, and supercars tend to be quite expensive. What if you wanted an open-gater for something a little more... humble?
Good news! You can now buy such a thing for the Mk1 Mazda MX-5 thanks to a small start-up called Minottek. Price? A smidge under £450.
Apparently, no major surgery will be required during the DIY job either, since this was designed from the off - following over 200 hours of development - to directly replace the original five-speed assembly.
Your bundle will come with a 20mm stainless steel stick and brass lower bushing, plus a nylon centre console trimming for its base. Adjusting points are also built-in, so you shouldn’t be cursing too much if you follow the installation guide properly.

New Mazda MX-5 meets EV-converted original: which is best?
Similar in size, money and ethos. Yet wildly different in application
Electric NA or all the bells-and-whistles ND: on which MX-5 would my £35,000 (ish) go? Honestly, it’s the new one. But it’s closer than I thought it would have been.
The ‘NA’ you see here is indeed an electric car. When I wrote about it before, it garnered fury from the world of car bores. “Not a propa MX-5,” sang the chorus of middle-aged men in the online comments. But it ’s the real McCoy, rather than a soyboy.
The good folk at Oxfordshire based Electrogenic have ripped out the old 1.6 -litre four-banger and replaced it with a single electric motor powering the rear wheels. It makes 160bhp and 229lb ft of torque. Range is said to be in the region of 160 miles and, no, it ’s not a manual.
The ND Mazda MX-5 here is top banana in the range, called the Homura. To recap, up front is the familiar 181bhp 2.0 -litre atmo engine.
