Great color, works very well on the MX-5. I wish I could afford to upgrade my daily to a NC.

Come on guys...tell your buddy's...I am a motivated seller here...will even throw in a Cobra radar detector that is hardwired.
Can't get a new toy until old toy is sold...CEO's orders.
..unfortunately, I bought mine a couple of weeks before I saw yours. Come out to the wednesday nite get together.
From what i have been reading the 6 speed is a much better gearbox than the 5 speed version.
I have read the 5 speed is prone to breakage and being unreapairable short of a complete rebuild, and the 6 speed just breaks the 3-4 shifter fork and they have a forged version of that...once that's done it's supposeed to be pretty solid.
And from my understanding the SPEC racers are choosing 6 speeds after breaking their 5 speeds.

Just the opposite, Billy. The 6-speed was the required transmission for Pro MX5 for the first year and they were lots of trouble. Year two had an option and almost everyone went to the 5-speed. Year three, 5-speed is now the required transmission. The cars are faster with the 5-speed....................
On the street, the extra gear is useless. First gear is the same ratio, sixth is the same ratio as fifth in a 5-speed. All you do is add an extra shift in between. I was always skipping third or fourth.

Interesting... granted this comment is 10 months old, but 2007 Mazda Cup Champ Jason Saini says HERE: We have since gone back to the 6-speed, as despite it's problems, is a much stronger/beefier and better transmission.
My 5 speed hasn't given me any trouble yet. And yes, the six speed is just another shift step, both have same final drive ratio.
Runis: Look under drives and events for Eastside WNG. Wednesday Nite Get-together. Usually we meet in Plano but the location isn't decided on until Wed. afternoon. Be great to see your NC there.
