![]() So if you have ever been curious about swapping a 6-spd into your car with a 4.1 final, ride in an MSM and feel how short the gears are. The 4.1 + 6spd is kind of an odd combination, anyone with a Mazdaspeed MX-5 will attest to the nearly annoyingly short gearing. *2003 6spd LSDs were the Tochigi-Fuji (T-F) LSD and Mazda switched back to Torsen in 2004 (Once again, correct me if I am wrong) Limited-Slip Differentials were as follows-ġ990-1993 had an optional VLSD (viscus limited slip)ġ994-2005 had an optional 4.1 Torsen LSD (2004-5 6-spd included)ġ999-2003* 6-spd had a 3.9 Torsen LSD (IIRC all 3.9 units are LSD, but please correct me if I am wrong) Let's first look at the common OE parts Mazda used in the Miatas from 1990 to 2005: Thinking about swapping your 5-speed transmission for a 6-speed version? Want more speed in each gear? Thinking about changing out your final drive/rear-end? I have compiled this to the best of my knowledge and if I am wrong anywhere with any of the information, please let me know so I can make corrections. So I have taken the time to compile this information for easy reference in the future and for people to discuss driveline options in one simple thread. However, sometimes people seem to be too lazy to do this, or even search for it on this very forum. In other parts of the world, a smaller 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is also available with 129 hp and 110 lb-ft of torque.Yes, I know there is tons of information out on the internet if you search for it. The small lightweight roadster will put out 155 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque thanks to its 2.0-liter SkyActiv four-cylinder engine. These numbers mean the new 2016 MX-5 is much lighter than one if its main competitors, the Scion FR-S, which weighs in at 2758 lbs. When equipped with the automatic, the 2016 car sheds 161 lbs.

Now, the lightest version of the 2016 MX-5 carries a power-to-weight ratio of 0.066 hp-per-pound, just a bit worse than the car’s previous 0.067 hp-per-pound figure for manual-equipped models. Mazda says this is about 150 lbs that has been cut compared to the previous model, which has resulted in a marginally worse power-to-weight ratio for the car. When equipped with the manual transmission option, the car has a curb weight of 2,332 lbs, while the automatic transmission takes that number up to 2,381 lbs. Curb weights for the new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata have been released. ![]()
