For torture testing, it would be nice to see these tested in a full bodied (heavy), 300+whp turbo car running Hoosiers on the track. ...or just send them to Bundy and if another transmission breaks first, we can stamp them bulletproof... :giggle:

Got a rough estimate how much a rebuild kit will cost?

The contents of a rebuild kit could vary widely, so there's no simple answer to your question. Variables would include:

* model year
* mileage
* actual condition of internals upon inspection
* current power level
* planned power level
* type of racing

Please email me at Bill@MiataRoadster.com with your details and I'll put together a quote for you.

Thanks,

Bill

My 10AE is just a tad under 300, very heavy, and I have plenty of hohos. I got the MSM rear for it due to the MSM's (slightly) larger rear axles. Puddymod built that diff.

Two days and I send money, Bill.

Bill I am tentatively in, but will wait a couple days before the payment deadline to Paypal you the funds. My insurance is trying to fuck me right before they send me my insurance check.

Payment sent today for one

Payment sent!

$$ Sent

Done.

Sweeeeeet!

I just realized that I might be in basic/AIT when these are shipped out. So I may need someone to babysit mine for me, haha.

Must...resist...spending...more...unnecessary...mo ney!

I have to decide if I wanna defect to the NC or S2000 camp......

The 3.3 will fit S2000 also, though probably not a desirable ratio.

Shall I do a chart on the 3.3 gear and 9,000 RPM? :rofl:

Total gearing in sixth gear: 3.104508
Maximum speed in sixth gear: 204.6 mph

from: Turn Zero Technical Resources :: Gear Calculator

payment sent. After looking at the 6 speed 3.3 combo on the gear calculator i wonder if this combo will hurt the 6 speed due to the added stress. i have blown the 5 speed when shifting to second and once in 3rd. I wonder since we have just turned the 6 speed ratios much the same as the 5 speed if there will be a reduction in the ability for the 6 speed to hold the power. any thoughts??? for those blowing 6 speeds did you have the 3.6 combo ?? i have personally seen a 6 speed get abused with flat shifting and the boost at 20 psi 300whp and it held up fines for many drag races. they had a 4.10 rear ratio tho.

Of course it will put more stress on the transmission. Whether it will blow as easily as the 5sp with the new "similar" gearing is actually a good question too, and one I've been pondering.

No idea of course until someone tries it, but I'm guessing its a very good possibility. I know the 6 has a stronger case and other strength improvements, but its still not a huge leap above the 5 overall and IMO the super close/short gearing was one of the bigger contributors to its higher torque capacity
