This is a partial 'enlighten me' and a 'searching for answers' post, but has anyone ever had a custom gear created? Is it even possible to have one made with a synchromesh transmission without changing far too many parts to make it cost effective? I ask because after reading the thread about the CS 4.3 R&P it got me thinking about the major downfalls to this car's drivetrain. It occurred to me, at least for autocross use, that the only real complaint I have about the car is the Grand Canyon sized gap between 1st and 2nd. After that the gears are not as poorly spaced, and work well enough. Problem being that every bloody Mazda2 has the same crap gear ratio, and I don't have the mechanical knowledge to see if the 2nd gear out of say, a Mazda3 2.0 LF-DE transmission is even compatible with ours. Either that, or does anyone have the technical documentation of these two transmissions to see if these gears may be compatible?
