The pedal feels a bit stiff, but I got used to it. Plus, it feels more responsive which enhances the driving experience! Just don’t overdo the pressure.
So glad you guys are sharing! I’m leaning towards a swap too—my 1990 Miata is feeling old. Any must-have tools for the installation?
You’ll definitely need a jack, jack stands, and basic hand tools. Also, a torque wrench is ideal for ensuring everything is secure post-install.
And don’t forget a friend to help! It’s a lot easier with another set of hands—trust me! The two of you can celebrate after your first test drive.
LOL, yes! Nothing like a buddy to share that moment when the shifts feel just right. Any final thoughts on maintenance post-swap?

Regular check-ups are key! Transmission fluid should be changed more frequently after a swap, especially if you’ve pushed the limits of performance.
Great point! Also, I’d suggest keeping an eye on potential vibration issues post-install. Those can sneak up on you.
