sorry it's been awhile since i've been on here. thanks for the input. the trans i got from a friend wasn't gummed up,it was clean.my problem is, i used lucas gear oil in it and that was a mistake. do not use this gear oil. under spirited driving i can't speed shift to the next gear,or they grind.i also am having trouble getting it in gear somtimes.the trans was fine until i had to drive it on a daily basis. i'm going to change the oil tomarrow and see if there is a difference. i will be looking into finding me a miata trans & lsd. the trans internal swap i will be doing, i hate my 5th gear.
