hi,

I am currently planning a speed3 build that I may possibly be taking up around late-summer time of next year

I do plan to place the car over the 300-350 whp mark and I am concerned that there may be transmission issues at that point in time

has anyone here suffered from transmission failure in the past? or has mazda finally made a decent transmission?

if you have had issues, what exactally was the issue? (lsd? specific gears? collars?) and what are the current options for speed3 owners to take up in order to prevent these transmission issues?


any positive input is appreciated! this is not a thread to discuss the mods necessary to reach my horsepower goal lol

I have yet to hear about any tranny buildups Just a couple clutches offered.Mine has suffered alot of punishment on the street and alittle at track. I changed to redline at about fifteen all seems well so far but I do not have near the ponies you are going after I presume.
