I didn't. Because your forearms are way more attractive than a missed shift. So we can forgive you about that.

But on a serious note, do you have the miataroadster shifter yet?

aidandj 05-28-2017 09:54 PM

Yes. Have had it for a while. my clutch needs adjusting I think.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 09:56 PM

oh ok. Would you say the shifter is worth the money? And if you were to do it again, would you have gotten the tall/angled one?

aidandj 05-28-2017 09:57 PM

Haha it is the tall angled one.

And yes I like it. I installed it at the same time as the twin disc. And combined they are amazing. Not sure what just the shifter is like.

Yeah the shifter is amazing. Its like impossible to miss the shift the 3rd with it.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 10:24 PM

George: But if we do that then I will explode my mooter because I mishshifted. So we swap before we can do mad racecar things all day.

Aidan: George you are a genious. Why didn't I think of that?!

George: Its ok buddy. Your forearms are still nice.

:giggle:

aidandj 05-28-2017 10:31 PM

$100 a day rental.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 10:32 PM

$300 a day final offer. Take it or leave it.

aidandj 05-28-2017 10:33 PM

On top of purchase price? Deal.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 10:34 PM

This is a year long rental right?

aidandj 05-28-2017 10:35 PM

Whatever pays for my trans swap. thats how much it costs.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 10:37 PM

Seems like a fair deal. Ill just have my paychecks sent to your house then.

Just so I'm clear, you are ironing out a contract for Aidan's forearms? I wasn't impressed, but I've had and seen some great forearms back when I was bodybuilding.

I hated the way my 6 speed shifted with or without the mr shifter. There have been a few documented failures of the metal in the shifter itself, and i personally had the weak plastic inserts fail on my shifter.

I always try to dissuade people from getting one. It is far inferior to the oem shifter in material quality and sound dampening. Obviously, I tend to have issues with parts barely anyone else has, but you have been warned lol.

I spent money on a quality trans rebuild just to get better shifter feel, still hate it.

icantlearn 05-28-2017 11:11 PM

Aidan you see this guy? He's dissing your forearms.

Good to hear a negative thing about the shifter for once. I guess. Are you comparing it to the 5spd or?

I haven't followed your transmission issues, but I will say if you are not running the ford trans fluid and have never tried it, try it. It was by A LOT the best thing I ever did to get my 6 speed shifting better. It was like pouring in a bottle of syncros. If you're running a GL5 oil in the trans that will make the syncros not work right too.
