The turbo FC trans runs wider / stronger gears.
They are not swappable.
Running a non-turbo FC (or Miata) transmission on an FC turbo is just plain stupid.

Revisiting with an EPIC ANCIENT THREAD BUMP!
Just wanted to know how that transmission is holding up. There are claims in the 1st gen section that people have trashed the Miata tranny with stock ported 12A engines and minor bolt on mods.
Also:
LINK UPDATES
First, some links for anyone else interested:

I just got a 1999 Miata transmission the other day. It's stinking up the back of my SUV.

So far, the tranny has held up really well under abusive conditions. Shifting is still smooth, not one issue to report, and I beat on it quite a bit when I drive.
The motor is a stock ported 13B with minor power mods (intake, exhaust, etc).
Still as good as the day I dropped it in there

While this is being brought back up...
Are there synchro differences between the two transmissions? As in, are the miata ones better, or are they essentially the same as the FC?

once again another from the dead bump. I am picking up a miata trans to do this. As far as the internals go what exactly from the 7 trans do you use and what from the miata trans do you use?

Alright, so it looks like I'm going to be installing the Miata gears\tranny in my GTUs.
I found an 01 trans with <12,000miles on it. I called up Mazdatrix and They said the best years to use are 01' and 03' and they mill the input shafts for $90! Just gotta wait a little bit, the trans is in florida and I'm in VA. It's supposed to be delivered next friday unless the deal goes bad this weekend.
I will make a new thread when the time comes.
Pele will also be participating in this fiasco.

Molotov and myself have 2005 and 2003 Miata transmissions respectively. (My thought that it was a 99 was wrong...)
Problem:
When dismantling the trans, how do you get the input shaft off?
1.) Input shaft snout removed
2.) Bellhousing and tailshaft housings separated from the main support plate leaving the entire geartrain there...
Pics to come later.

how the hell do you get the guts of one in the other? I have a spare s5 na tranny laying around and need to put the guts into the miata tranny but cannot manage to swap the cases...

if i'm not mistaken, you dont swap the cases, just the actual "guts" from one to the other. the miata input/1st gear is all one part (kinda), you have to mill a secton of the splines off to have it fit the NA FC clutch "location".
