Got to finding what the rattling was in my 6spd.... and none of the removed bolts where associated with these guys. Best i can think is at one point, someone pulled the star bolts that house bearings - these bearings though who knows... I haven't yet pulled a star bolt.
Anyone know where these came from or have an exploded parts view of the 6spd?

That is a bitch, which requires getting into the middle section of the trans. I have the manual, but it's 228MB, I'm trying to see if I can send it through my work email.
Try this from m.net garage.

Seriously, guys. Curly is right. DropBox is the answer for moving large files. You start with 2 GB free space, you can use it to sync files across all your machines, and you can selectively share folders with people. It's not a typical fileshare service like MediaFire, it's permanent cloud storage.
PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite- if you register with an invitation you get an extra 500MB (and so do I).
It's free. It's fast. It's convenient. And it's free.
EDIT: why am I asking for your email addresses. As your goderator, I already have them.![big grin](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Shot in the dark on your *****...
The DSM transmissions I work on use ***** in the shift rail detents, basically for "catching" the shift rail at a specific location when changing gears. In the Supra trannys there are *****/coil springs used in lieu of circular synchro springs, but based on the couple of exploded Mazda trans views I found it looks like Mazda used the circular type. The bearings used also appear to be ball-type, as opposed to roller, so maybe you had a couple things go south.
Here is an exceptionally crappy scan of an exploded view of an FD trans:

Here's a view of what came up as a Miata transmission, with no year given:

I'd like one too if you are feeling generous
I used to use drop.io but they disappeared.
Sorry for feeding the threadjack Bryan
Edit: Here's a link to Mazdaspeed parts catalogs. Gimme a minute and I'll try to find a 6 speed essploded view. http://www.mazdaspeeddevelopment.com...miatapubs.html
Double Edit: Go here, jump to page 63. 6 speed trans exploded begins there and continues for a few pages. http://www.mazdamotorsports.com/pdfs...MX5/1359_1.PDF

BTW, Joe, this dropbox service is ------- fantastic. I'm sad in the pants I turned down an invite awhile ago from a co-worker at work, stupid anti-cloud bent.

Threadjack my *** Matthew - this is great! I seriously needed a *FREE* cloud server, and with dropbox I can set some of my customers up with auto-backup on the temp monitoring product I sell - now it can auto-backup the data without them lifting a finger or having to pay for it. The max data backup size is maybe 1mb, so 2GB will last forever! So awesome Joe - thanks again for the lead.
I'll get to my ***** later
