Owners Book reads: 75w-90, GL4
According with most MIata owners, best is the Motorcraft Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid, it is GL4, it has additional FM (friction modifiers) to aid in synchronizer engagement, it has Ford's lifetime fill rating and it is both expensive and German
Second place is any GL4 75w-90 oil. it will not have the FM in it, but it will shift better than any GL5.
third place is a GL5 75w-90, most common is the M1 synth 75w-90.
Fill the transmission filter with transmission fluid before you put the new transmission filter on. You probably will not need to add any transmission fluid.
75w 90
Yes! All manual transmission Miatas have it. The good news is its just a regular brake fluid so its dirt cheep and you dont need much.
yes of coarse u dumbie
As far as I know, there is no reservoir for transmission fluid. You have to just pull the dip stick up and look to see how much fluid you have and if you need to add more. .
1999-2000 models are different from the 2001-2005 models, in that they have separate chambers for the transmission fluid and the shifter. If you only intend to change the transmission fluid, you need 2 quarts. If you would also like to change the shifter turrent fluid, you will need to purchase an extra bottle, though you will only use a few ounces of it.
Just over six quarts.
Make sure you have the right transmission fluid. Changing the fluid will require removing the bottom of the pan and draining the fluid. You will need to replace the pan gasket and it is a good idea to replace the filter. There are kits available with the required parts.
there is no cable, it is a hydraulic system and you probably just need a new slave cylinder or a master cylinder. Both are easy to replace. it could be that you just need fluid in the resovior.....
It depends on what vehicle it is in, and in some cases the exact transmission. Older Ford Rangers for instance come equipped with 2 different manual transmissions, one a Ford Transmission and the other a Mazda. The Ford uses gear lube and the Mazda A/T fluid. Most use a gear oil of varying weights, but some can use automatic transmission fluid. Check your owners manual or call the dealer.
This depends, although most likely standard unless you have a Eunos model which is the European Miata, which those use metric.
There is usually no transmission cap. The tube that the tranny dip stick is in is where you add fluid if it is an automatic. You usually need a funnel that has a longer neck on it. If it isa standard then there is a check bolt that you remove and add fluid that way. Good luck.
