You joined the forum in 2007 and you only have 2 posts? Who are you? Why can't you type in complete sentences?

There are plenty of people that have done the automatic/manual transmission conversion here, search the build threads. The RX7 is its own design, so there are very few parts from Miatas that will help you. Are you a troll?

They use the same blinker fluid. The Miata air freshener is a direct bolt on as well.

Sorry about that! I was a bit busty when I was writing this post. I joined this club a while back when I had my first fd. I then sold it and just picked up a new one a few weeks ago. Is an automatic but swapping it out and just wanted to know if there were any miata part that I can use of the transmission
And thanks for reply guys

Complete Miata transmission will bolt right up to the FD and run like a champ!

Dudes,

Its a ligitimate question. No reason to be an ***.


Depending on the year (not sure if all years work), the miata steering wheel bolts right up.

Depending on the year Miata, some of the wiring harness connectors are the same. The harness itself is obviously different, but you can scavenge a lot of usable connectors if your FD harness is damaged. While it's best just to go with a new harness, that's at least an option.

Honestly, its normally the other way around. Miata guys want FD parts.

That being said, Steering wheel and shift **** are the most common and obvious. If its a later NB the rear view mirror is a nice retro-fit into the FD. Especially if its a mazdaspeed rear view mirror. The double din radio will also work if you want a true mazda OEM radio in your FD.
