WTB 6 Speed
 

So, i know this is a long shot but does anyone have a 6 speed laying around that they want to sell? If so, shoot me a PM

It ended with $500 starting bid and zero bids.

It would have cost a fortune to import from canada.

Still a good deal though, i hope I find one for that price when it comes time to upgrade.

upgrade? if you are putting down any power 1st gear is already useless with the 5speed so why go to the even shorter geared 6?

You can easily fix the gearing with a 3.63 final drive, or if you really want, a 3.3 final

The 6 speeds are much stronger. I am afraid i will break my 5 speed.

I wouldn't call using the stock a 3.63 r&p "fixing" the gearing. I run the 3.90 with my 5 speed which ends up to be taller gearing (in 1st through 5th) and 1st gear is still fucking useless.

Even verse a 3.30 diff and 6 speed, 1st through 5th gear are taller with a 5 speed and 3.90.




How much power are you planning on putting down because if it's not north of 300 to the wheels I wouldn't sacrifice the smoothness and taller gearing of the 5 speed.

Roadsters arent supposed to have long wide gears like a fatass musclecar anyways :P~ (well unless you put the engine from that fatass musclecar into your Miata)

6-Speed gear ratios: (for anyone that is interested)
1st - 3.76:1
2nd - 2.27:1
3rd - 1.65:1
4th - 1.26:1
5th - 1.00:1
6th - 0.84:1
Final drive: 4.10

I'm willing to trade my MSM 6-speed (which has stronger gears than a regular Miata 6-speed) if you have a low-mileage 5-speed to offer in return. But I don't have another car to use so you'd have to drive here to NJ to do the swap. :)

Well shit, if you have access to tools and a lift up there I would be interested in that.

My 5-speed has 70k miles on it. What do you think of that? Where in new jersey?

HAHA! Where in NJ? You're in Indiana so does it really matter where in NJ? The state isn't that big.

it says Springfield under his avatar. He'll be in Point Pleasant today. Hopefully he'll be leaving in a Squirted MSM.

I'll send you a low mileage 5speed for your tranny. Paul will swap that out for you, but he might charge you for it. :bowrofl:

I am on the edge of parting out my turbo setup, but it would only be worth it for the tranny I have if you came to Ohio to pick it up. I have a beautiful 04 mazdaspeed miata 6 speed sitting in my garage currently.

Yeah, i will drive to Ohio. I am in Indiana! Let me know, i need one.

edit: For the right price.

I have one with 5k miles I'd be willing to trade with you. :)
I can send it up in a UPS truck, you swap, and send back.

I have the receipt for $881.84 from Partsgroup.

Have you used it?

Nope, it's chilling in my garage along with a billion other parts. I have the plate and shifter for it attached. It shifts so perfectly it's better than butter :fawk:

So, you're willing to sell it?

The worst part is, i would have to drive something besides the miata. I dont think i can fit the tranny in the trunk.

you can fit 2 Miata trans in on the passenger side if you remove the seat. i've delivered 2 like that.

and you can fit one in the trunk, i picked up one in my miata once. (i think)

Hmm, is the turbo II tranny much bigger than the miata tranny? My buddy has a turbo II tranny sitting in his garage and i could try to fit that in my trunk. I cant take the passenger seat out because i would be bringing my girlfriend. A 5+ hour trip by yourself isnt a whole lot of fun.

Ideally, I wish I had someone in the area that could help me install all my stuff. I keep not having time to do it all myself, and I have so much to put on. I wanted to have it all done by now to enjoy this summer, but that hasn't happened. I have an 01 head an manifold, 04 6-speed transmission, RX-7 clutch pack differential, Innovate Wideband 02 sensor and controller, 3.90 gearing, (wish I had 3.63), Bully Stage III clutch, Fidanza 8lb. Flywheel, Garret .63 trim T3 turbo, and probably a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting. I have never used a MS before, or done a turbo setup on my own, and am kinda scared now having so many parts and no one to help. Ya, I do all the work on my car, and know general stuff, but I really wish I had someone to help me put all my stuff on that knew what they were doing, that way I didn't make any small mistakes that cost me everything. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate to see it go, but I hate to mess up putting it on by myself. :ugh:

Well man, i am interested in the 6 speed as well as the rx7 differential. Let me know. You could always start with the basics and take it one step at a time. Just get a basic stock motor turbo setup going and then add on stuff later.

Alright, I will keep you posted.

Not to thread jack, but if wes doesnt want the rx7 diff and you would be willing to ship it to me for the right price ide buy it :)

Well, you are thread jacking, send him a PM and GTFO my WTB thread.
