Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure how many of these are available either, I
started a WTB thread to see if anyone is interested in selling one of these differentials.

True. My car has an
0.814 5th gear. I
started a thread about 5th gear swaps in the Miata forum, and it seems that there are
other cars that I could pull a taller 5th gear from. For example, the 87-91 RX-7 has a .691 5th gear. Perhaps Mazda still makes that part. However, if the part is discontinued, I would have to pull a used one from a 20+ year old, possibly abused, sports car transmission. I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable putting a 20-year old used part into my newish car's transmission.
