Got second place at the season’s last race. Also ranked second in my class overall this year. I’m pleased consider all of my problems with the brakes and clutch. I have a fastest car by far in my class. Now I only have to learn to drive it fast

This is how my gearbox sounds like now

I broke it in last superlap session when my cam sensor got loose. Ecu start cutting fuel in full boost and then when it came back it hit all the 300ftlbs+ torque back to gearbox through unspring twin disc clutch. I would been surprised if my gearbox had withstand that

When my car started to twitch due fuel cut I knew that I can stop my lap, spare my car and give up my second place or run(all-of-it) it to the end and likely broke something. I’m glad I choose to run it to the end. That move gave me my second place in the season’s final results.

The internal parts of the 6 speeds are the same as the ones in the RX8s. They frankly have a rotten reputation in their racing circles. But in turbo Miata land it is better than our 5 speeds for holding power without breaking. I know a race shop owner with lots of experience with them. Mike at ISC Racing in Florida.
