N/a transmissions.
Just wondering if people have had issues with n/a transmissions behind a s5 n/a motor making below 200rwhp. I've grenades two "bad" transmissions so far and have 1/rebuilt one I'm putting in and am looking for a spare in the meantime. Since these things are getting crushed like there is no tomorrow I'm wondering if I should stock up or perhaps get an adapter and get a t56.
I'm drifting so there is a lot of shock going through it via the clutch kicks/drops.
That being said first transmission was questionable and second was free and had a terrible input bearing. Lost 1st gear in one and 2nd in the other.
Friend with 1.8 turbo miata (which I understand is the same transmission) seems to be having better luck with more torque. That being said his transmission wasn't a turd.
Just wondering. I'm assuming this is foreign territory as most go to turbo drive train or have one to begin with. (Not an option, saving all of that for my turbo street car :p)
