I understand the MX5 ‘box went in from 2011 and before that it was a Ford 5 speed box. I’ve had a couple MX5s and no way was the car above fitted with the Mazda ‘box. The Mazda mix is spectacularly good with short throws and snick snick action. The box is the above car was at least 8 inch throw and very sloppy by comparison. Not even close to being as good as the R380 in my car, let alone the Mazda.
