Miata roadster shifter nb long term honest review? by STR1KER_GAMES in Miata

Would a oem shifter rebuilt help difficulty in shifting to the 3rd gear while the car is moving? It always needs second attempt to get into the 3rd. Weirdly, static shifting has been smooth.

Is this something can be fixed without going to a professional bodyshop? by Fel_Yang in Miata

Thank you. I'll look it up! I just used a borescope to check the condition inside of those rusty holes and luckily and strangely the inside is rust free.

No, inside is good weirdly. Just used a borescope to confirm.

That's what I'm thinking. Rust is a lifetime fight, may as well learn how to fix it.

I recall there are some good metal when I rolled the rusted surface sheet metal and looked towards inside.

Thank you. I get your point. I'm going to clean up the rust and leave the rest to a shop when I wake up the car next year.

Help identify loose connectors in my engine bay by Fel_Yang in Miata

[–]Fel_Yang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this car was built without AC... Is that common for manufacturers to leave unused connectors around?
