$2k for a 6spd Miata transmission is WAY too high, even for low low miles. Go look at http://www.car-part.com/ to find ones in your local area. The most I would be spending would be $800-$900.

I'm not talking about any 6spd miata transmission. I'm referring to the Mazdaspeed one specifically.

Gotcha, even then the low mileage ones are popping up for 1k-1.4k but there's definitely a lot less of them in the results.

I don't think the Mazdaspeed transmissions have enough "specialness" to warrant anything over $1k. Something like shot-peened gears or something...that no one has really ever confirmed nor has shown to be any stronger than any other 6spd transmission. I really want to punch the sellers who think some MSM parts are worth 2-4x the price of "normal" NB parts.

BUT IT'S A MazdaSpeed!!

I really like the MazdaSpeed, but agree with the overpriced parts thing.

I only have crappy cell phone pics of my msm...

Just wondering, does anyone have a clip of the racing beat power pulse axleback on an msm? Preferably with a downpipe too?

I found a couple shots from last season so I figured I's share. Two of the pics happen to be from right after spinning out. See if you can follow the tire marks lol.
