if they told you missing a shift "automatically *****" the syncro, they're feeding you a line of bulls***. If this was true every standard shift car in the world would be shitting trannys out everywhere. This is certainly not my first manual tranny, and everyone misses a gear once in a while.
LOL, that was hilarious! You do know that the forum spy is two spots above your post! Good old Speedtec works at Open Road Mazda in East Brunswick NJ. Careful he may go and tattle! (five-0)
New tranny fluids + front engine mount for the price is what i will go for on my next mods. A friend of myne did it, i tried his car and wanted those mods right away. He did those mods last weak, myself tried the car 2 night's ago, so for long therm we have no idea but for the price, and the feeling, for me that is were i'm going, and to keep my waranty working all the way.

HAHAHAHA.... i did work there. i currently work in nyc. believe what you want guys. i also own a car performance and accessory shop in NJ. if you need parts cheap let me know...
i was not there when darksun280 broke his car. i have had several fast cars, from drag racing, drifting, SCCA, etc. so i can simpathize with ALL of you. i currently have a '07 Tundra with a STS rear mount T4 turbo. and my warrenty is void on powertrain thanks to my local toyota dealer. if you modify a car and it breaks then you have to assume the dealer or manufacture will void your warrenty. everyone has had a friend that had something go wrong.
a friend of mine works at ray catena porsche and a carrea GT comes in with blown clutch and a coil misfire. they didnt warrenty a $125K car because it only had 15K miles and a burnt clutch.
say what you want about me. just like i have said, "you got to pay to play".
i have had a lot of owners use royal purple or redline. i also like amsoil ($$$). any synthetic will work. just make sure if you use synthetic make sure that is all you ever use.
the tranny i have heard is good to about 500-550hp. the clutch is a dual mass flywheel. that is mazda and a lot of other manufacture's way to stop the premature tranny problems from harsh engagement. that is way your clutch pedal never really catches in the same place twice. so if you use a new clutch make sure to get a solid mass flywheel. i have always used ACT. but i would stick with a large clutch manufacture like them or clutchmasters. competition clutch was the head tech from clutchmasters and they are making a great name for themselves. i like 6 puck sprung discs because they are smooth engagement and they hold. the more pucks the longer the life and visa versa.
i believe the toothpicks (aka drive axles) are usually good for <400hp. if you take off with slicks or anything like that you need to preload the axles by holding the brake pedal or ebrake while slipping the clutch and putting a load on the hubs and axles before dropping (i mean harshly slipping) the clutch.
i use stock remanufactured axles from advanced auto parts on my vw that i drag race and it has 410whp with 26x8.5x15 MT dragslicks.

you are welcome.
jaydubz, you are simply too much...
Never heard of. interesting though. At your oil change it would be cool to get an oil analysis. Why did you choose this product, experience?Has anyone tried using Militec-1 on their motor and trans? (www.militec-1.com) I added some to the motor and trans yesterday with the stock fluids and shifting is much improved and the engine is defintely revving more smoothly. The entire drivetrain seems run a bit quieter and smoother. Keep in mind, my MS3 only has 900 miles on thus far.
You know, sometimes clutches are defective. Early failures not related to driving technique do occur from time to time. Now if it came in with bald tires and drops of burnt rubber stuck all over the wheel wells I could understand the denial. Voiding a warranty due to clutch failure @ 15k without further mitigating circumstances is a bit extreme in my eyes.HAHAHAHA.... i did work there. i currently work in nyc. believe what you want guys. i also own a car performance and accessory shop in NJ. if you need parts cheap let me know...

Wow! I never heard of a front engine mount for the Speed3. I want to hear more about this before I buy it however.
