Is the fix to this leak a replacement of the rubber seal visible at the very back end of the tailshaft (that seal which can be replaced from the outside simply without driveshaft removal) or is it...

Anyone have a handy list of parts and pn's for seals, bushings, bearings that should be replaced as a matter of course when installing a used tranny (known to run ok -- don't plan to open it up)?
...

I have a tranny that is stuck in 4th having been run dry during a race due to a rear seal leak. Haven't opened it up but I imagine only bent splines would cause this. Is it worth a rebuild?

Ok I'll bite. What's the acoustic theory behind the coathanger wire trick?

Does it have to be in tension or just rattling around? If you put in 2 or more is that parallel or cross-pattern?

My group seems to be leaning towards Daly although I still don't have a sense for where you get the most seat time and individual coaching. Any comments on 3 days at Daly? Seems like a day in Z3's...

Myself and 2-3 fellow IT & RX-7 roadracers are looking for a good, 2-3 day advanced racing school to attend between now and end of Feb. We each have 1-3 yrs. racing experience but a serious desire to...

Hey BC, keeping you in sight let alone kickin' yer a** next year is going to take more than horseshoes and a good draft. Now don't you be poaching here on my battle plan!

I'll talk to ISC but what kind of spring rates get run with Bilsteins? And what do you do for a wet set-up if they are non-adjustable?

My Tokico's need replacement. What's the relative merits of Bilstein's for my set-up?

I run 350F/175R springs, stock front swaybar, no rear swaybar, OEM Watts in rear (i.e. no rear panhard),...

Festus, how did you get so much caster from slotting without giving up camber? I've slotted straight in for max negative camber and ground down the top mounting plate on the strut to get max neg...

Maybe I'm misinformed then (2nd gen advice on a 1st gen car?) and just need to inspect and replace the original.

Could someone confirm that this bearing, worn or poorly greased, could be the...

More.... When asked about the "pilot bushing", MazdaComp refers me to part number N326-11-D03 Needle Bearing (this is D-code 114031 on diagram 1100A-1 on the Parts Catalog on the MazdzComp site). Is...

Past posts have referred to a MazdaComp roller bearing pilot bushing (i.e. the one housed in the clutch and which accepts the transmission input shaft). MazdzaComp says they have no such part other...

Speed Raycer, how did you deal with the sag in the ducting that's needed to accomodate turning the wheel? I.e. ducting has to stretch to reach the outurned wheel but compress to allow the wheel to...

How do the cars compare for regular maintenance? Are the Miata's front rotors integral with the hubs -- i.e. do you need to get into the same bearing mess with a rotor change as you do on the RX-7?

To answer the question, I race in western Canada, based in Calgary, so ITA and RX-7 National level issues arne't germane. Our local class will remain street-ported no matter what.

Don't read too...

I run in a spec RX-7 class that allows street-porting but no carb mods. We don't have Spec Miata in our area but it will no doubt emerge.

I am curious if SM's run closer to each other than do...

Unfortunately all of us racing with bcarter run 2-into-2 headers and dual pipes all the way to the muffler so would that not preclude presilencers?

This new db change really pisses me off. I...

What Hotshoe says seems logical when I think of the corners prior to the onset of my straightaway starvation problem.

Heh heh... It also tells me why I sometimes get the low-tank starvation in a...

Stumbling in the corners and starvation on the straights are two separate problems - first is carb related and the second I'm still trying to figure out. At anything under 1/3 a tank I get...

So, those of you who have experimented with timing on the dyno, how closely does your end result compare to the ubiquitous 24*L/16*T recommended by Paul Yaw?

Yes, as GEO46 states, I believe its something at the clutch/tranny interface. Is it the bushing the clutch fork on the tranny moves in/out or is it something buried in the clutch itself?

I remember reading here that the common problem of getting false neutrals when shifting to 3rd can be solved with a MazdaComp pilot bushing. From a search through the parts catalogue on their...

Is your parking brake still attached? I heard keeping the parking brake attached and properly adjusted helps firm the pedal... anyone able to explain this?
