  • Hello,

    A sluggish six speed transmission can benifit from a fluid change to Ford " Full Syntheic Manual Transmission Fluid" Ford part number XT-M5-QS. Purchase or order from a Ford Dealer.

    Good Luck, Mike.

  • My King, it's possible to know the best solution to repair the MX5 NB 6 speed gear sluggisness

  • Gratitude for the tutorial, o mighty King.  Pray tell, should one's 6-speed suffer from a loose bracket caused by those insolent bolts, how doth one tighten this bracket? Locktite? A new bracket? We bow before thy mastery of the Miata realm.

  • Very helpful with overhauling my shift box. Unrelated question. I replaced my spark plug wires and crossed two incorrectly which I noted as soon as i fired it up. Got them straightened out and now have a whining noise which seems to be coming from the alternator. Coincidence or somehow related to what i did?

    Thanks,

    Rick

  • Mike, I need to an inner shift boot off of a shifter. The boot is in good condition, but I need to replace the bushing below. Any ideas?

  • Mike,

    If my 2000 miata intermittenly won't go into 5th gear, will any of these services fix it or have you ever heard of that? This problem just started one day.

    Thanks,

    Eddie

  • GREAT!!!! Long Live The King!!!

  • What kind of grease do you use to grease the shifter? wouldn't it contaminate the gear oil?

  • Fantastic tutorial. Thank you
