For whatever reason mazda decided that the tranny in the NA would be realllllyyy close to it's power handling limit. In short it seems that most cars with over 120k have tranny's that are starting to work at less then great levels.
Oddly enough they seemed to have done the same thing with the TII tranny which makes you wonder why the TII tranny isn't in the NA and some other tranny that's got some strength isn't in the TII.
At any rate.
So assume that you've got a tranny that's slowly dying, what's a good fix? How much hell is it to put a TII tranny into an NA? Anyone know of a good rebuilt tranny that won't die in 100k? What about this fabled Miata tranny conversion?

flywheel

You don't really need the diff, but the turbo driveshaft will have to be modified in order to bolt it on to the NA diff. If going this route, this will elimintae the use of T2 halfshafts.
BTW - I am using a NA slave on my T2 tranny.
