The issues with our trans is NOT the gears per-say, GTX gears will not help our trans from twisting. Only straight cut gears will help. the gears from breaking.

wouldn't the reinforcement cups help even if you had helical cut gears

Well I'm not saying the gears alone are the problem. Pretty much everything in our trans is the problem.

I think PAR is the only company that has put thought into doing anything for our transmission.

What about a lightened flywheel? If you haven't already bought one, I highly recommend it. I have an Exedy stage 1 and Fidanza flywheel on my MSP that I had installed with the rear mount and trans mount (driver side). It was a night and day difference. The lighter flywheel is a great improvement over stock and well worth the money. ALSO, be sure to use a Mazda throwout bearing and NOT the Exedy. Mine started making noise about a week after install.

Not sure if anybody has told you before, but your voice (in the video at least) reminds me of Red from Pineapple Express:

Just ordered the frozen boost fan for my car. thanks guys!
lol, it does
I didn't get a lightened flywheel because I don't really have the money for that right now, I will look onto it though, around what's the going price for them? And I will make sure use the Mazda throw out baring to. Thanks for the help!

You have a message!
My rear catalytic converter is coming apart and it's getting worse every single day. And since there wasn't anything after that cats when I got it (including the flange) I had piping welded directly on, so I can't just unbolt it and clean it out. Even worse is that the new shop I work at doesn't have a welder!!! So, I'm going to cut it off, then remove it and have an exhaust shop put in 2.75 from the front cat all the way to the rear pipe to muffler flange.

Crossover sells just the flywheel for $330. You would get a combo deal if you bought it with the clutch though. I understand about not having the cash, because I was on a really tight budget when I had it done too or else I would have replaced the differential as well. You will need to have your flywheel resurfaced before reinstalling it, which has to be done at a machine shop I believe. I was quoted $60 for that from a local shop that I have connections with, so it could be more.
yea I just looked them up and wish I would of waited and saved up some more and got the whole package but I'm still considering in getting one it just might be a while. and yea if I do stay witht he stock flywheel I was going to go get it resurfaced.

I am going to attempt to install my CP Racing 4 pt. trunk brace today.
I need to find a switched wire that is only on when the second ignition setting is on, I have everything wired in to come on the first click and I don't like leaving my WB on while the engine is off and I have the radio on. The EBC I don't mind being on as much.
