Was dicussing this on AIM last night, I'm wondering where the MT on the 2.3 and the 3.0 comes from as, I believe its the same tranny. I'm trying to figure out how much power it could handle.

According to the sticker on my car it is from Mazda, Japan.

The manual transmission range includes:

• The Mazda G5M five-speed is designed to give the four-cylinder engine line-up crisp, short-throw shifting feel and low shifting effort in true sports car style. It features new dual synchronization - a high power synchronization feature for responsively quick shifting, easier shift effort and precision engagement - for the first and second gears.  

• The A5M transmission is used for leveraging the higher-torque engines, including the V-6 gasoline engine and the diesel variants. This five-speed manual transmission also features Mazda attention to detail for optimal shift quality.[/b]

also forgot to add (from same article):
• A JATCO 5-speed transaxle is fitted to V-6 equipped models. Its robust construction is ideal for the higher torque output of this engine. Smooth shifting quality for its specific application in Mazda 6 was a priority in its design configuration.

so then this means the 6 cylinder manual trans is diffrent than the 4 cylinder manual trans?

also the auto comes from the tribute.

White 6s: the I-4 and V-6 use entirely different transmissions. Both the manuals and the automatics are different.

Ed,

I would interpret it to mean that.. Hmm.. Two different transaxles.... Interesting. And if the transaxle in the V6 is entirely new, then it will be some time before we get a good limited slip differential out on the market. I was hoping that Quaife could whip one out for us in relatively short fashion....
