Dead Transmission... '92 5-Speed
176k on M5R1
i was driving down the highway like normal. I was pushing 3rd as i spead up the on-ramp to merge onto I-77. I shifted into 4th and ****grind*** i didnt even have to let the clutch all the way in, it was grinding like a dentist drill on your teeth.
Afterwards i couldnt shift at all; Stuck were it was at. If i let the clutch close with the tranny in gear it would just grind more. Well i was able to force the shifter into neutral but it didnt help, the tranny would grind with the shifer in neutral! When i got to a stop i tried playing with it, but it just keep stubbornly cocked to the left in the spot between first and second and made a sorta quiet whinding sound.
How much would you pay for a new M5R1? I've been quoted for $750 for a new one from a shop around charlotte, $575 for one off ebay.
Does anyone know where i can get a short throw and a shift kit for this tranny?
Is the newer Mazda 5-speed heavier duty then the '92 version?
i am considering like a 5-speed from a 02 or so, im not sure on which years had the HD version?
