Maybe you’re aware of this, but 3.3 was never a Mazda option, anywhere. Lowest is 3.6. I have a 3.6 in my Mazdaspeed and it’s plenty low, FWIW.

Mfactory makes a 3.3. It has mixed reviews and is loud but available a few different places.

MFactory sells an upgraded "OZ" version also for an extra 170$. Not sure if that one is also noisy. I've had sets from them in the past in other cars that were very noisy.

MiataRoadster sold alot of sets of 3.3's in the 2007-2021 Date range, not sure of the make. My 2004 MSM has a V8 and a non standard transmission that needs a 2.73-3.3 for reasonable RPM's.

I have a new, never installed MFactory 3.33 set, still in the box, that I bought a while back and never got to install. Probably won’t get the opportunity at this point. I’m in Cincinnati but won’t be back for another week.

$525 shipped. They’re currently listed for $629USD on the web site.

My MFactory 3.301 is silent. It is also shot peened and I was super careful setting it up.

Honestly a Getrag or 8.8 diff swap is probably a better long term solution, and will have several ratio options in that range.
