fd tranny in miata?
Like the title says I'm asking about a feasible way of putting an fd tranny in a miata. I plan on building a 350+ hp miata in the near future and instead of breaking transmission every day, I would like a better option for a reasonable price. I know one guy did it before but that was back in 08. I have a spare fd 5 speed laying around from my fd days.l. I also have access to a lot of miata 5 speed bellhousings. Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

In his defense I don't think either of those threads are specifically about FD transmissions...Isn't the one about RX7 transmissions discussing FCs? He said he already had a FD 5 speed laying around.

^^ Thank you. I had already searched through the linked thread and didn't find an answer to my specific question. I did however find other options. I think what I will do is pull the two bellhousings off (the fd tranny and the miata tranny) and see if there is a way to put the miata bellhousing on the fd box. I also believe the fd gearing will be better suited for a higher hp miata. My next quest if that does not work will to try and mend a T56 into a miata, mainly because I have one of those laying around as well.

In my defense that thread would probably be a great place to ask about an FD tranny fitting a miata. I made no mention about there being an answer, just that it was a thread about tranny options for the miata, which is still an active thread, so there is no need to make a whole new thread for every tranny idea.

Good luck with all that.
