Kmiata just released a kit to put a transmission from a BMW 3 series (e30, e36, or e46) into the miata. They're bullet proof and can handle a lot of power
julien g-r I blew mine up with around 240whp. I’m not nice to my transmissions though as I mainly drift the car. I went non turbo and to the ecotec swap because I wanted reliability and when I want to turbocharge that I can throw the solstice transmission into it which is based off the r154.
David Adams I believe they have, I might be wrong. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to contact them and get one sent out for Greg since it would be good advertising.
Hey greg with those 4th gears shifting there was a shop in aussie I read about who specialises in modding the s15 silvia 6 speeds (same aisin box apparently) where they mod the shaft and install a bigger thrust washer or something to ensure 4th gear doesn't move! I was going to do this to my own 6 speed but sold my nb before I got a chance. I hope you read this mate as it is an option, hopefully someone in the states can do the same thing. cheers
I thought the same thing during the video, did he seriously research and find a way to beef up his miata 6spd within 1 week? :O I'm sure he's capable of it though
Sorry to hear your transmissions keep blowing up on ya. Since you're looking for upgrade options, I figure I might as well throw out a suggestion. KMiata makes a BMW transmission swap kit for BP engines that I've had my eye on for a while and apparently they can hold a ton of torque. It comes with the clutch, adapter plate, ect. but I don't know if you gotta swap out the diff for it. Here's hoping you get everything sorted out soon without any headaches, and I'm looking forward to seeing you throw that car around a track.
This right here, I was looking at their swap kits when they were still developing them. Glad they finally came out with kits and I'll be looking to pick up a swap kit for the getrag.
I wasn't sure if the drive shaft that came with the KMiata kit would bolt up to a 1.8 torsen miata diff. After rereading through the description it doesn't mention anything about it being incompatible so I guess it would work? In any case, I'd recommend swapping out to the getrag rear end as the 1.8 torsens have been known to crap out at around 400 hp and since Greg's best pull from his last video got 415 on the dyno I'm a little concerned.
Locking tires up mid-intersection = +9000 Street Cred. I heard back in muscle car days you were cool if you could slam your transmission into 1st from 3rd and get the wheels to lock when cruising the strip.
I've been talking with David at KMiata and he says they have a swap kit for the E-46 6 speed coming soon for all Miata BP engines that's what I'm going to run in my big turbo Miata. Also, when are we going to see the return of merch we all want it and it will help finance the new trans what ever you go with. Best of Luck can't wait to see some driving vids!
nothing better than Gregs video in the morning, im sure you are not having fun breaking things but hey, your audience learns new things from that, so thats something
i think there is an adapter for a t56. Look into it and see because it can handle the power. also you can cryogenic freeze the gears and micro polish them. the freezing makes the metal much stronger
Curious if you could maybe Tig weld 4th onto its selector ring? grind a lil grove and just make a more secure connection. then grind it back so its flat? not sure if that would cause the heat-treating to be affected. maybe do it in small amounts like you would with bodywork you dont want to warp.
Thats crazy!I knew it was something with a synchro getting bound up, and that's why. I know you said on snap you didn't know what happened, but it was coming soon. you could totally fix that 4th gear issue. It would be much easier to find a way to fix both parts of 4th gear together. Maybe press it apart and use loctite? Or if that sketches you out, then drill a hole between them and then fill it with weld. Something to fix them would not be too hard and would be probably pretty reliable depending on how it's done. Keep up the great work.
Oh boy, me mentioning the M3,M5 etc tranny swap idea might of jinx'd you. Oh dear. Utmost apologies !!! Lol I wish you the best of luck with everything Greg, I was a little bummed out bcuz of expecting insane footy after the dyno day. It was such a build up of a video and awesome lol but it's fully understandable now. You've been doing a lot of research and working to get over this obstacle. Which takes time. Totally understandable!
the toyota 86 (subaru brz and others) use the same AISIN AZ6 gearbox, with a different bellhousing, tailshaft and linkage. Just wondering, if would be possible to get one of these and swap the miata parts to it. Those are much newer. The other thing is there is a bunch of companies building those AZ6 gearbox for BRZ, maybe they can build the miata ones too. Idk. Just wondering. The miata 6 speed just has super nice, close together, gear ratios. 1st gear is kind too low... 4.14 I think, but one barely uses it.

Have you thought about PPG? www.ppgearbox.com.au/page.asp?categoryid=9 They could make spur gears for your 6spd though, I'm not sure how well the casing would be able to tolterate the new/higher internal loads since the MX-5 trans casings look fairly thin.
I think summit sells a Quicktime sfi bellhousing that adapts a BP to a Tremec TKO. You could drop the twin disk with drag slicks and a tko 500 wouldn’t break.
I was wondering if you or anyone else could help since you’re a Miata fanatic. I let my friend try to do a burnout and he burnt the clutch a bit. I’ve done everything to make sure my clutch is still good; hard pulls from low rpms in a high gear, put the car in 4th gear and see if it stalls, etc and it all checked out. But on my way home, I began hearing a weird click from the clutch pedal whenever I was releasing it. When I got home I decided to push the clutch in a couple times to hear the click and find a diagnosis but then the NA began to beep lower than the beeping that happens when the door is opened and the sound will not go away! The clutch still engages and all but the beep won’t go away and I’m kind of desperate to see what it could be, my na8 is my daily and we drive 70 miles a day and I have only 1 day throughout the week to fix whatever it is. ANYONES GUESSES WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance
I kept destroying third gear in my nv4500. Never figured out what it was. 600+hp probably didn't help, but I also liked to row gears like an Olympic rowing team, which I've heard can be stupid stressful on it.
I had the MSM 6 speed in my miata. It's built for 400 but still breaking it in so it's at like really just slightly over stock for now. Trans locked up and went spinning
I've heard people mention that in certain ways,the standard 5 speed is better overall transmission anyway,so even if I do save up any money to do anything significant to my car,I'm just gonna stick with the standard 5 speed that already in it. One thing I don't like about my transmission is that the 5th gear makes for a poor overdrive when driving at and maintaining higher speeds for like whenever I get out on the interstate at around 70-75 mph.
It's better overall as long as you're under 240wtq. Only reason I upgraded to the 6-speed was to hold extra power but as you can see that didn't work out in my favor lol
I really don't know what the deal is when it comes down to it,but I believe that I've heard of a BMW manual transmission being used on a Miata before due to the stock transmission not being strong enough beyond a certain level of power on either an LS swaped or Honda K-Series swap,but as I said before,I wouldn't know the first thing as to how to go about fabricating such a thing to work and it's possible that I may have misinterpreted my memory on this,but still sounded interesting,nonetheless. Maybe something like a completely different manual transmission could be made to fit your current BP engine and handle the power even better,who knows?
Great videos and most underrated channel on youtube! Silly question but was the clutch adjustment correct? I had same issues after going with an aftermarket clutch on my msm but my hp is stockish. After double checking FSM clutch adjustment procedure, 1st and reverse gear has better engagement.
Hey Greg I'm probably late to the party, but have you considered the k Miata transmission swap for the BMW tranny's? I know it's probably more money but from what I'm seeing they have been very reliable as for as holding power. Just a thought
"So for the second box I had the boost turned WAYY down and was only making about 300hp....". For a car that stock has about 150, on a good day, that's a pretty big jump ;-)
I think I always learn something I never realized I wanted to know from your videos. It would be cool if you could weld that ring to the gear to stop them from separating.
A sprung clutch won't save another transmission at that power level. Stronger internals and a stock throw shifter with the sprung clutch also, might. But at your power level a bell housing adapter and a tougher trans is possibly in your future.
Theres a way you can take out the final gear in the transmission and reinforce it somehow. I'm pretty sure it's popular among Hondas. I cant remember what its called for the life of me though...
Greg, why not go with a Turbo 2 box? You'll have to fabricate a PPF mount if you want to retain that and have a custom drive shaft made, but it sure as hell won't fail like a Miata box.
Man what happend when the master brake pump gets boost on the hose that goes to the intake manifold, should I use like a Bypass? I am trying to find my boost leak!! :/ I saw your tip on the gtx 323 pcv, I will try maybe, I already try mine blowing and seems to work but maybe with 7 psi its enough to leak, cheerssss!!!
Hilarious at first…, I have been waiting for an update. Turned down to 300hp :) Wonder if I should up my power level now? 1rst and 2nd is useless in mine. My 2004 ls has a 6 speed as well. 2nd is tricky going in to gear sometimes...
It's ok bro I'm literally in the same boat with my Altima but with the diff on 8 psi it strips the teeth off I think it's the clutch I have is a little to rough for oem
I've just bought a 6 speed, should I disassemble it and put a small weld on the 4th gear? Should I replace all the bearings to? I don't know the mileage on the 6 speed but would it be worth doing all this stuff while I have a driving 5 speed in my car?
700$ for 6spd miata box, holy cow.. Bmw gs6 zf+ bellhousing modifications etc would not cost very much more than that. Highly recommend. Its fast to shift and handles way much more power than the miata puts down ;) of course you need to modify driveshaft, gearbox mount, shifter and linkage for that and change clutch plates to have correct splines for zf input shaft. Lots of custom fabrication but definitely worth it.
See K-miata. BMW tranny conversion. They have the bmw 5-speed converion available now and should have the kit for the 6-speed conversion available soon.
Now, imagine having a 6-spd fail randomly while driving...being in 6th and the RPMs shooting up like if pushing the clutch in. After a quick, calm reaction to the situation, i found that only 5th gear would engage. Sitting at a stop, with the engine running, the shifter could be placed in 1-4 qnd 6th without the clutch...and nothing would happen.
I was kind of worried the reason for the long wait on this vid was broken transmissions. You've sold me on going ZF box and Getrag diff instead of trying my luck putting 430 lb/ft through a miata driveline from this vid alone :P. Maybe you can get a sponsorship from Kmiata or something.
Joseph Rossetti yea but you can get a BMW trans for 300 and they won't either. Not to mention to my knowledge they don't make a kit for the cd009 and it's very heavy compared to the miata and BMW trans
So if my 5 speed Miata is having trouble going into first when I first start the car up and it’s a little hesitant to go in each gear while the car is warming up then I could have a master cylinder issue? When it warms up it’s not as bad but I can still have the problem. No grinding is felt or heard
Yeah if it's consistently hard to get into 1st gear when stopped, may be time to bleed the clutch or replace the master or slave. Keep an eye on your fluid level.
Funeral seen was epic Fast and furious quotes, sneaky I shouldnt drive it like it that, but I did lol , you killed me bro, of course I always smash that LIKE button :) Keep Doing Work Bro!
‘I had the boost turn way down, only like 300 HP’ ... I hope that one day I can say the same haha 😅 Miata goals!
Which is still way more than the 6 speed can reliably handle.
MiataMods one day! :)
My miata daily’s at 300 whp and 294 wtq on a six speed and I abuse the shit out of it trust me
Yeah the six speed is known to reliably handle 300hp.
Funeral scene had me crying 😂, CarPassionChannel fan for life!
Pressed F to pay my respects, and poured a little trans fluid on my garage floor for the homie transmissions that ain't here anymore...
Five Five Garage lmao
don't waste trans fluid
Kmiata just released a kit to put a transmission from a BMW 3 series (e30, e36, or e46) into the miata. They're bullet proof and can handle a lot of power
Expensive!
julien g-r so is replacing 6 speeds every couple weeks.
Musa Bashir I messaged him on snapchat about a week ago. He said he was considering it. I think it’s a great option for the higher power level.
Jacob Klein yeah for sure.get 5 speeds and dont be too hard on it. Im at 303whp on my 5 speed still holding !! Lets keep it this way
julien g-r I blew mine up with around 240whp. I’m not nice to my transmissions though as I mainly drift the car. I went non turbo and to the ecotec swap because I wanted reliability and when I want to turbocharge that I can throw the solstice transmission into it which is based off the r154.
"taken too soon... junior."
Redhead Metalhead I died... bury me with 4th gear
"more than I can afford....pal."
BMW 5/6 speed, it's probably the cheapest swap that'll hold all the power you can throw at it.
Matt Thompson I thought they haven’t finished the adapter kits for those yet
David Adams I believe they have, I might be wrong. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to contact them and get one sent out for Greg since it would be good advertising.
Matt Thompson if only it would be cheap lol I’d want one too cause 400 was too was much a six speed and I don’t wanna be stuck at 300 again
David Adams I wish the kit was cheaper too, but if you consider the materials you're getting plus the labor and development costs it's not too bad.
Hey greg with those 4th gears shifting there was a shop in aussie I read about who specialises in modding the s15 silvia 6 speeds (same aisin box apparently) where they mod the shaft and install a bigger thrust washer or something to ensure 4th gear doesn't move! I was going to do this to my own 6 speed but sold my nb before I got a chance. I hope you read this mate as it is an option, hopefully someone in the states can do the same thing. cheers
Tig weld the gears to their splines on 3rd and 4th. Try again? It would be neat to find a way to beef up the 6 speed!
Alucard7002 I was wondering this exact thing... Can the 4th gear ring just be welded to the engagement ring to make it one piece?
F3Ibane I'd have thought so. Some careful Tig work and tweaking should eliminate the issue.
Alucard7002 Same thought here.
I thought the same thing during the video, did he seriously research and find a way to beef up his miata 6spd within 1 week? :O I'm sure he's capable of it though
if you weld the gear, you'll distort it. You'll need to do finishing operations on the gear teeth and the bore to make it usable again.
Sorry to hear your transmissions keep blowing up on ya. Since you're looking for upgrade options, I figure I might as well throw out a suggestion. KMiata makes a BMW transmission swap kit for BP engines that I've had my eye on for a while and apparently they can hold a ton of torque.

This right here, I was looking at their swap kits when they were still developing them. Glad they finally came out with kits and I'll be looking to pick up a swap kit for the getrag.
Should just be a matter of finding a yoke that works or a new D/S. Why would trans mean swapping the diff? This isn't mid-engine or rear transaxle?
I wasn't sure if the drive shaft that came with the KMiata kit would bolt up to a 1.8 torsen miata diff. After rereading through the description it doesn't mention anything about it being incompatible so I guess it would work?

Gotta leave a like before I even watch the video like always!
K Miata BMW Transmission time?? Love your vids Greg, I always learn so much. Keep up the great work man!
The intro had me dying.
"too soon, junior" 😂
You know what grinds my gears!?
you need to leave 😂
Someone gets it
BMW ZF 5speed?
Craig, please mate stop destroying gearboxes, we need them as well...
Tig weld 4th gear to stop it moving on the spline, we have been doing this in high power Toyota boxes for years!
ooh. that's what i was thinking! should be pretty cheap as well!
not the best idea. Atleast not from an engineering standpoint. The gear will distort and needs to be refinished by gear shaving.
@@anmolbehl1883 it won't distort if done properly, ones we had done have been good for going on 20 years now at 600-700 hp
I've been talking with David at KMiata and he says they have a swap kit for the E-46 6 speed coming soon for all Miata BP engines that's what I'm going to run in my big turbo Miata.

Greg Peters, the six-speeder eater
I'm glad you're not dead. You make good videos and with 2 weeks no upload I was a tad worried.
nothing better than Gregs video in the morning, im sure you are not having fun breaking things but hey, your audience learns new things from that, so thats something
I wish you luck from here on out with all your transmission problems craigg! As always, cant wait for more content :D
Loving the f&f jokes still lolol
i think there is an adapter for a t56. Look into it and see because it can handle the power. also you can cryogenic freeze the gears and micro polish them. the freezing makes the metal much stronger
Greg, I was waiting for this video since I saw your broken transmission thread. Good stuff, hopefully those dead boxes can be revived.
k-miata bmw transmision kit? they also do a kit for the bp
Curious if you could maybe Tig weld 4th onto its selector ring? grind a lil grove and just make a more secure connection. then grind it back so its flat? not sure if that would cause the heat-treating to be affected. maybe do it in small amounts like you would with bodywork you dont want to warp.
BMW ZF swap!
ZF swap all things
Great video. Sorry you're having troubles. You keep teaching us more about Miatas. Thank you!
Reassemble with some loctite? Who knows
Thats crazy!I knew it was something with a synchro getting bound up, and that's why. I know you said on snap you didn't know what happened, but it was coming soon. you could totally fix that 4th gear issue. It would be much easier to find a way to fix both parts of 4th gear together. Maybe press it apart and use loctite? Or if that sketches you out, then drill a hole between them and then fill it with weld. Something to fix them would not be too hard and would be probably pretty reliable depending on how it's done. Keep up the great work.
And if it doesn't work on the first one, you have another one to try a different method on! Figure out a 4th gear fix for the Miata community!
Please don't ever delete your videos !!!!! Thank you a lot for helping !!!! You are the best !!!! 😆😆😆😆
Damn....I was super excited to see this thing in action. I did a 6 speed swap too, but no turbo for me...I cant afford a gearbox graveyard
I’ve been subbed since I got my Miata in December, finally getting to wrenching on it. It’s a ‘90 NA!!
Oh boy, me mentioning the M3,M5 etc tranny swap idea might of jinx'd you. Oh dear. Utmost apologies !!! Lol
I wish you the best of luck with everything Greg, I was a little bummed out bcuz of expecting insane footy after the dyno day. It was such a build up of a video and awesome lol but it's fully understandable now. You've been doing a lot of research and working to get over this obstacle. Which takes time. Totally understandable!
the toyota 86 (subaru brz and others) use the same AISIN AZ6 gearbox, with a different bellhousing, tailshaft and linkage. Just wondering, if would be possible to get one of these and swap the miata parts to it. Those are much newer. The other thing is there is a bunch of companies building those AZ6 gearbox for BRZ, maybe they can build the miata ones too. Idk. Just wondering. The miata 6 speed just has super nice, close together, gear ratios. 1st gear is kind too low... 4.14 I think, but one barely uses it.
Have you thought about PPG?
www.ppgearbox.com.au/page.asp?categoryid=9
They could make spur gears for your 6spd though, I'm not sure how well the casing would be able to tolterate the new/higher internal loads since the MX-5 trans casings look fairly thin.
I think summit sells a Quicktime sfi bellhousing that adapts a BP to a Tremec TKO. You could drop the twin disk with drag slicks and a tko 500 wouldn’t break.
I just want to take a moment to mention that ) really appreciate how you read so many comments
+Kaleb Fleming :)
Oh i think this explains why 4th gear is always super easy to get into, no matter how screwed over your synchro rings become (after only 150k km, GM!)
LOL the intro was full of dank memes 😂
heard you talked with floridasfinest.. rx7 T2 trans? ;D
Great channel Greg! Trace from Glendale AZ.
Could you just do straight cut 3rd and 4th gears in the 6spd?
I was wondering if you or anyone else could help since you’re a Miata fanatic. I let my friend try to do a burnout and he burnt the clutch a bit.

ANYONES GUESSES WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance
you need the bmw e36 ZF 5 speed with the conversion plate .. my bmw 700 whp on stock ZF tranny no problem
mine was 300 bucks out of a 328i
I kept destroying third gear in my nv4500. Never figured out what it was. 600+hp probably didn't help, but I also liked to row gears like an Olympic rowing team, which I've heard can be stupid stressful on it.

You know it's bad when you got spares in the back.
Dog box
Gedas alekveravičius I would suggest that too but dogboxes are Bella expensive
or just go for the e46 transmission swap, it'll hold all the power you could ever make with the BP engine.
Wondering if msm can help here?
Would a couple tig tac weld keep it together?
A sprung clutch won't save another transmission at that power level. Stronger internals and a stock throw shifter with the sprung clutch also, might. But at your power level a bell housing adapter and a tougher trans is possibly in your future.
First thing that came to my mind was that vicious new clutch I’d say you hit the nail on the head
Ive broken a shift rail before and had the same issuie but it was only in reverse in neutral
Theres a way you can take out the final gear in the transmission and reinforce it somehow. I'm pretty sure it's popular among Hondas. I cant remember what its called for the life of me though...
Greg, why not go with a Turbo 2 box? You'll have to fabricate a PPF mount if you want to retain that and have a custom drive shaft made, but it sure as hell won't fail like a Miata box.
What about CD009's ? Or the transmissions from the Soltsices ??
Where have you gone?! I need more Mx5 videos!!
MultiAna96 I'm gonna be back on the grind soon!! I have one that's gonna drop this week
TheCarPassionChannel thank youuu!
Man what happend when the master brake pump gets boost on the hose that goes to the intake manifold, should I use like a Bypass? I am trying to find my boost leak!! :/ I saw your tip on the gtx 323 pcv, I will try maybe, I already try mine blowing and seems to work but maybe with 7 psi its enough to leak, cheerssss!!!
So are you going to Racelegal tonight?
Gotta find a song for this video's outro specifically. It has to be called, Back to the dead
Hilarious at first…, I have been waiting for an update. Turned down to 300hp :)
Wonder if I should up my power level now? 1rst and 2nd is useless in mine. My 2004 ls has a 6 speed as well. 2nd is tricky going in to gear sometimes...
tig weld the 4th gear syncro ring to the gear they have been doing it for aircooled drag vw's for years
I just saw a Mazda that said The CarPassion Channel
That’s what brought me here
It was a cool historic white Mazda with detachable stirring wheel
LionGaming8150 Awesome!!!!
TheCarPassionChannel ikr
LionGaming8150 did the car have panda stickers on it and from Arizona?
NeOnSeAn97 yes on the light
Awesome!! that's my Miata!! thank you for calling my car cool and thank you for checking out the channel.
It's ok bro I'm literally in the same boat with my Altima but with the diff on 8 psi it strips the teeth off
I think it's the clutch I have is a little to rough for oem
Sorry for your loss! 💙
Omfg the FnF references in the eulogy were fucking perfect 👌🏼
I've just bought a 6 speed, should I disassemble it and put a small weld on the 4th gear? Should I replace all the bearings to? I don't know the mileage on the 6 speed but would it be worth doing all this stuff while I have a driving 5 speed in my car?
700$ for 6spd miata box, holy cow.. Bmw gs6 zf+ bellhousing modifications etc would not cost very much more than that. Highly recommend. Its fast to shift and handles way much more power than the miata puts down ;) of course you need to modify driveshaft, gearbox mount, shifter and linkage for that and change clutch plates to have correct splines for zf input shaft. Lots of custom fabrication but definitely worth it.
hey i have a question i have a 1.6 and if i wanted to run itb would the 1.8 ones fit because i can’t find the 1.6 itb for my car ?
Can you change the transmission to a different transmission idk maybe a t56 it would need a lot of work to bolt up but would be sick
RX7 TII has been put in miatas before. also, lost it at "too soon (jr.)"
psrb226 I was thinking this too. T2 trans is pretty bulletproof at that power level. I wonder how hard of a swap that is. I’ve got 2 in my garage lol.
What about a full racing 5 speed? Is there a known transmission that is built for high amounts of hp that is made by mazda? Maybe a Rx-7 or 8 tans?
wouldn't it be better to replace the unsprung clutch with a sprung one and use another 6 speed?
whatever transmission you find for yours that you trust is what I'll probably put in mind when my 6 speed is gone. it's starting to show it's age...
Get a bmw gearbox from a diesel. Undestructable and cheap. Get it re-welded in a jig by proffesional ore get adapter plate, nice vid as allways!
See K-miata. BMW tranny conversion. They have the bmw 5-speed converion available now and should have the kit for the 6-speed conversion available soon.
Now, imagine having a 6-spd fail randomly while driving...being in 6th and the RPMs shooting up like if pushing the clutch in.
After a quick, calm reaction to the situation, i found that only 5th gear would engage.
Sitting at a stop, with the engine running, the shifter could be placed in 1-4 qnd 6th without the clutch...and nothing would happen.
I was kind of worried the reason for the long wait on this vid was broken transmissions.
You've sold me on going ZF box and Getrag diff instead of trying my luck putting 430 lb/ft through a miata driveline from this vid alone :P.
Maybe you can get a sponsorship from Kmiata or something.
Lol some effort went into the intro, that was sick
M57 ZF 6Gz
I’m saying cd009
Joseph Rossetti lmao no reason to put a cd009 in and way too expensive
U can pick them up for like a grand and definitely won’t blow from 400hp
Joseph Rossetti yea but you can get a BMW trans for 300 and they won't either. Not to mention to my knowledge they don't make a kit for the cd009 and it's very heavy compared to the miata and BMW trans
Straight cut gears are in my dream miata. I don't even know if it's possible.
Quick question Greg peters
Can u use the 1.6 drive shaft on a 6 speed?
So if my 5 speed Miata is having trouble going into first when I first start the car up and it’s a little hesitant to go in each gear while the car is warming up then I could have a master cylinder issue? When it warms up it’s not as bad but I can still have the problem. No grinding is felt or heard
Yeah if it's consistently hard to get into 1st gear when stopped, may be time to bleed the clutch or replace the master or slave. Keep an eye on your fluid level.
That would be a good first step, when the ice thaws from my car I will lol
Man on your boost leak test when u blow throu the admision hose, how the air flow if the throttle was close? Cheers
Daniela Antezana Air can still flow through the idle speed control valve, although it is a better idea to crack the throttle open. 🙂
TheCarPassionChannel thanks!!!!!
Please tell me how I blew 2nd 3rd and 4th in my 5 speed at maybe a little less then 200 hp 😢
Does your timing belt DIY video apply to a 99' nb? Please let me know, thx. Your videos are amazing btw, thank you for being born.
He made a bench outta the broken transmissions. IM DEAD 💀😂
What a bunch of gear load! Lol 😂 seriously though, you’re dropping them bills tho! Ouch! Wish you the best you got this bro!👍
K Miata do a BMW gearbox conversion kit but it is expensive
Time to swap it for a BMW Z3 trans! I think K Miata makes the adapter plate for it.
What about straight cut gears?
Ahh bro, i believe in you. You will be boosting in that Miata soon.
I hear u can put an rx7 trans but you have to weld a miata bell housing on to make it fit
Funeral seen was epic
Fast and furious quotes, sneaky
I shouldnt drive it like it that, but I did lol , you killed me bro, of course I always smash that LIKE button :) Keep Doing Work Bro!
