Miata tranny swap!?!?

![Exclamation](https://www.rx7club.com/images/icons/icon4.gif)
My bearings are going out in my 280k mile tranny finally..(tranny whines when in gear or neutral and clutch is engaged) So I'm thinking about a miata tranny, I've done a search and gathered as much info as posible, and from what it sounds like it's just a matter of swapping the bellhousing and tailhousing. I've also read that some machining of the input shaft is necesarry. I also read that wacky has done this swap, and that you can just grind off the bit of the shaft that goes into the pilot bearing? Any help, or pictures of this would be great. This is my DD so I need to fix this problem ASAP. So time is of the essence.
Thanks,
Ken

A local shop did the swap to miata internals then we chopped off the pilot bearing section of the input shaft. In installed this tranny to my bro's mazdaspeed duece when it it had the FD bridgeport motor and the turbo monsterstreerport TII block. Nice shifting with no issues. At ths time, the duece just received a new facelift with a very aggressive port and TII tranny. It will go to my 75 RX-3 when I find time.
