GSLSE and miata trans?
i got a GSLSE w/o a tranmission. I heard you can directly bolt up the first gen miata transmissions. is this true? i found information regarding FCs. but the GSLSE is kinda all to itself with this.

Here's the link to the original thread. I'm not sure, but I have spoken to Pete about it before. Different people have different opinions on the idea.
Rob at Rotaryshack really didn't think it was worth it, but other people did.
Overall I think you're getting lucky by finding one out of a smushed Miata.

very true and it figures pete has done it. pete does everything...twice. GSLSE transmissions are WAY to hard to find. so that is my reasoning for doing it.

hmm....so i basically need a GSLSE transmission to change then. seeing its not likely im going to find just a bellhousing or just the tailshaft. unless someone blew one up in ohio or Pa somewheres

Nope but you can use the internals but the input shaft (the part the goes into the RX-7 pilot bearing) needs be cut or shortened. I cant remember if changing the bellhousing will do it.

TII will require a new driveshaft.
Miata bellhousing and tail.
GSL-SE, just find one in a junkyard? Ebay?

You can just use a 12A tranny too. The 12A one is nearly the same except for a little different 5th gear ratio.
