[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Call me again when you break the 6-speed buddy XD Also slight correction, 6th in the 6-speed is actually shorter than 5th in the 5-speed, so your cruise RPM will be slightly higher.

[@brentescovedo3262]

6th gear is 0.843 while the 5th gear on the 5-speed is 0.814, which isn't much and basically irrelevant for NB owners with the 3.9 differential but somewhat significant for NA/NB with the 4.1 or 4.3 diffs.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

@@brentescovedo3262 It makes the same % difference no matter what the final drive is (in fact the 3.6% change in the final trans gear is almost as much as the 4.7% change of going from 4.3 to 4.1 diff) No it's not too significant, but many people think they'll be getting some kind of double overdrive with the install of a 6-speed which is far from the truth.

[@brentescovedo3262]

@@TheCarPassionChannel I perfectly understand what you mean. I drive an NB2 with the six speed and 3.9 differential and still cruise at a lower rpm in 6th despite the shorter gearing.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

@@brentescovedo3262 Yeah the 3.9 is where it's at if you're making any sort of power. When I went from 4.3 to 3.9 it was a total transformation. Just wish we got the 3.6 in the U.S.

[@brentescovedo3262]

@@TheCarPassionChannel the 3.6 gearing would be a great pairing if you're making considerable power, but the 3.9 is pretty much the best all around ratio for the six speed if you're at stock power or slightly above. You get close gearing which makes a big difference when touging but still retain street drivability around town and on the the freeway. For autox though I find myself wishing 3rd gear was a little longer lol.

You should tear apart the old 5 speed to see the damage done

[@drakegallagher1296]

Forgot to plug in the thing in the trans that turns on the reverse lights when you throw it in reverse

[@shubhambhakta4989]

The trans should have a different connector. The NA 5 speed uses 2 banana plugs while the NB 6MT uses an connector a good way to fix that issue is to cut the female plunge from the trans and wire it to the NB one.

[@CosmicLimaBeans]

3:03 A 6 speed miatas 6th gear ratio is 0.843, while the 5 speed miatas 5th gear ratio is 0.814. So they are a little bit different and the 6 speed is going to rev higher at the same speed in the final gear. For those that are curious The 6 speed gear ratios are: 3.76 - 2.269 - 1.645 - 1.257 - 1 - 0.843 respectively. While the 5 speed is: 3.136 - 1.888 - 1.33 - 1 - 0.814 respectively.

Finally a video, posted 10 seconds ago 😻😻😻😻

[@TheAndrewMARGOLIN]

So, I was in the Miata game from a young high school age. I am still miataman at 38. My 90 1.6 fm ii powered miata lunched its original 4:30 rear diff. Bought a wrecked nearly new 99 10ae as a donor. I swapped the 3.9 rear and 6 speed into my turbo 1.6. I will tell you this...the 6 speed blew. Too much shifting. Pulled 6speed out and in went the 5 speed. The 5speed and 3.9 rear from 10ae was a a perfect combo. Just my .02 cents. Love seeing miata channels and owners doing cool things with mx5’s. Be safe

[@Spear911]

3.63 ratio swap from the euro and Australian miatas with the 6spd. Many people love it.

[@Cobra_427]

Gingium showing you can do pretty much anything on ordinary jack stands, even if it looks to be a really big pain it is possible, also I had a friend of mine that was scammed out of his 2JZ, shit sucks and you really have to watch your back (that was his replacement engine because Hurricane Harvey killed his VQ35)

[@Dewree69]

[@Alev.04]

Wow haven’t been here in a while use to watch everyday when u first started building the Miata and off road Miata haha

[@Insane99assassin]

Haven’t even started the video and I am so happy

[@PHJamesL]

If you fit a 6 speed with a 3.6 ratio diff you'll end up with a 6th gear about 20% longer than a 5th on a 4.1 or 4.3 diff or so. This was the setup I went for, really was a nice ratio set with short 1-5 and a 6th that allowed 3250rpm odd at 70mph with 195/50/15 tyres

[@aidandaubert]

Good for you man

You should think on install a longer ratio to take profit of the 6speed trans. On Europe we have ones with 3.6 ratio and maybe you can look for something aftermarket.

[@jeeperzcreeperzz]

wow everything is blowing up!

[@shubhambhakta4989]

How find u get the electronic speed gear to work? The NA trans have a bigger speedo drive gear compared to the NB sensor

[@mcmudkipp]

And thats why you don't mod your daily lol. You need a reliable daily beater for those "just in case" moments like this. Should accelerate harder with the shorter gears. And good luck with the Drift truck.

[@Jonah.s13]

The Datsun is painted! 7:23 looks amazing!!!

[@satanaz]

holy shit that transmission take out was sketchy as shit, loved it hahahah

[@grahamnelson5376]

The 6 speed does have shorter gears but keep in mind all of the 6 speed NBs came with taller gearing in their lsds. So with the full 6 speed drivetrain you will have lower cruising rpms in 6th gear.

I'm having the trans for my car repaired (by an expert). It's a two speed, so I feel your pain with highway RPM, but hey, matching numbers! Stoked to get it back, hopefully later this week or sometime next week. Guy had to send off the torque converter to be machined apart and rebuilt by a machine shop since it isn't a very common part, so I have a feeling that's what's taking so long (delivered it last Wednesday). Let me tell you, that sucker was DIR-TY. Actually will be in the Chicago area Saturday to get a front bench seat (Form a '67 Olds so it has the center armrest, but should fit a '66 Olds because they're both A-body) for the car. Once the trans is in, the front seat and some minor interior bits, and some paint corrections are left and it'll be literally factory!
