Miata Transmission swap rX7
I thought this would be helpful, and clear up what year transmission would be best for this swap. Dave just posted this on his FAQ on MazdaTrix's website.
I am in the middle of this swap and almost wasted time on the wrong transmission.
Need 1994-1997 1.8L Miata

Thanks for posting this info, I built one of these this winter using a 1989 Miata transmission as a donor, and I saw this misalignment as well.
I checked to make sure I had it together correctly, and couldn't find a problem so I bolted it all back together and it works great.
I think since it is on 4th gear it shouldn't cause a problem, there is less torque multiplication.
I did the project mostly for the better ratios, so I don't mind having the one piece synchro.
