listen, if you want to trash on me READ THE EFFING THREAD CORRECTLY!!! i NEVER said it didnt go into gear. i said it felt a little rough. first of all i have had this care for about 5k miles, MY FATHER AND I PURCHASED IT FROM MY UNCLE AND THERE HAS BEEN 3 DRIVERS EACH TRACK EVENT... NOT MY DRIVING!!!! AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND YOU WILL FIND THAT RACECAR MIATAS GO THROUGH 1.6L TRANSMISSIONS EVERY 50K MILES (THATS OFF OF A SPEC SITE PS ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHECK UP ON IT). i will eff anyone up in a straight line drag in the same car, dont talk about shifting, go ahead and take an automagic and line up next to me, see who gets down the track first.
The problem is that you are a complete dumbass.

u guys gotta give him some slack..... if i'm correct.... aren't the JDM Na6 and Na8's more powerful than our B series motors by a little? that's probably what gave him the idea to get the "JDM" transmission....
kid doesn't know much, he's trying to learn, and i'm sure since he just got ripped off via ebay..... he's learned his lesson enough to not earn a bashinh from us mt.net people

All joking aside, 1fastmiata, go research what a synchro actually DOES in a transmission and you will understand why we are giving you a hard time about this. as for it being hard to shift, understand that trans has probably been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long (18 years? lol.) DRY, so it probably has rust flashed on all the internal parts. Get it filled with the correct type and amount of oil then mount the thing in the car and RUN it.
If you send it back to him, based on your description, YOU will be the idiot. You will be out a transmission and you money because it sounds like he is playing you for the fool you seem deadset on BEING.

Who told you that?! Call him up and tell him you're going over. When he answers the door, PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.
The Japanese are not REQUIRED to change out their engines every 5 years.

Who was the engine importer? I had a guy at Noyan motorsports tell me the same thing when i went to order a KLZE for my old mx6 (small world, isn't it? 
). Sorry, but it just isn't true. The problem is that cars become more expensive to operate given time, plus those who own cars in Japan typically want the latest and greatest. Call it a national pride issue. Repair costs are high there. So people just buy a car for a bit and sell it when it gets some age on it. And of course, that's not everyone, but that's the trend.
