I have my old FD transmission sitting in my garage and a 5 spd Miata trans in my basement... hmmm... weekend project?
How did you take the measurements to have the PPF line up correctly? And what about the pull clutch mechanism on the FD trans? What did you do to convert it to push, and what throw out bearing/clutch fork etc. did you use?

Nice entry post. I started to read the thread and got scared then realized that one you are from another country. Two that you managed to do in your back yard what a lot of people will not attempt in a shop with good tools. Hell of a job I hope it holds up well for you.

Edit: I feel like I've read this claim because I HAVE read this claim.

The fc and fd transmission are holding well up to 500hp.
Here are the ratios
