are there any good things about them? after reading i am slowly wanting to sell my miata and go to a diff platform, ive been reading that people over 250whp are just blowing up trannies left and right, is there no hope?

 

Never heard about this, probably just internet rumors.

 

hustler has many redeeming qualities...

a decision every man (I use the term loosely) must make for itself

...

There are programs for this kind of thing.




Dude, seriously?

6spd swap. Or TII with an adapter plate.

 

The thread that was never needed.

 

Why are you planning to use a transmission? Weld a tranny input shaft to a lengthened driveshaft.

6 speed still blow up ??

 

turbo not hit block???????

 

Well I just read on here about people swapping out 6 speeds because they keep losing 3rd gear. I am just trying to sift through the internet crap and find out my transmission options; ultimately I don't want to be buying and replacing trannies all the time. Sorry, I probably started off on the wrong foot.

Corrected by Hustler because you're a ******* moron who didn't learn 2nd grade level grammar. Literally 2nd grade. You don't understand capitalization, punctuation, conjunctions, and the filler language makes this an impossible read. We communicate respectfully on this forum and there is no excuse for abusing the English language. Apologize to the forum for your disrespect and I might not ban you.

 

Drain the oil out of your tranny to reduce rotating mass.

 

You are a tranny.

 

It all depends on what you do to it. Savinton is at ~350whp, and rapping the **** out of a 6-speed at the track. Yet thesnowboarder broke one at ~250whp


How much power are you making anyway? Anything under ~250whp i say ban.

 

In Soviet Russia, 6 speed blow you.

Hussie for School Board Superintendent. Lol

 

Okay, no filler English. I have a completely stock miata, but I don't want to dump a ton of money into it if i am just going to have transmission problems. I had done some reading the past few days and I understand it that miata transmissions break. I want to build a 250-300 hp miata and if it can't be done without blowing up a transmission I don't want to have any part in it. I am sorry for the filler English I can understand that.

 

You will go back and fix the capitalization and [lack of] punctuation errors or I will ban you right now and no one will help you with your little problem.

 

Seriously there is not specific power level that will break a 5 speed. Levnubhin has the original tranny at ~300whp. Others break before that. It all comes down to how you drive.

Build your car correctly. Once the 5 speed breaks get a 6 speed.

 

It all comes down to many factors, but I just don't see how anyone can balk at a stock transmission that is tried and proven to consistently handle 2.5 times what it was designed for...and weighs 75lbs to boot.

 

What do you plan to do with the car?

I plan on drifting and drag[racing]. I have a friend with an 06 civic Si with boost in mine. My plan is to be use WI boosted on my Miata. I like to get sideways more then drive straight. I read have been reading and I feel I have everything figured out except the for transmission. I also don't want to spend 3 grand on Quaife.

 

He's definitely not driving it to an writing course at the local community college.
