Hi,

I have a 92 GS that needs a new transmission. I am looking to save some money fixing it so the ATX to MTX swap is out. My engine either needs new valve seals OR new piston rings. Because of this I wouldn't mind putting a new engine in there with the new ATX.

My questions are:

1) Am I stuck ...

What about the 2.0L KF tranny? Will it work with the K8?

I emailed JDM ENGINE DEPOT and asked them the same thing. Here is the conversation:
Hi,
I was wondering if this transmission will work with my 1992 MX-3 GS with the 1.8L V6. Your auction says it fits a 2.0L MX-3 but there was never a 2.0L ...

I need to get a new ATX for my 92 GS. Will the KLZE automatic work fine with this or do I have to get the regular 1.8L ATX? Thanks.

Mine is a 1992 GS. If you can ballpark a shipping cost to Calgary, AB, Canada, postal code T3G 1L6 that would be awesome.

I need to replace my ATX. What have you guys done with your old automatics? If your ATX was in good shape before you put the MTX in I wouldn't mind grabbing your old auto.

If the only reason most of you swapped the transmission was because your auto broke, then where do you suggest I find an auto ...

Hi,
Just recently my Charge Battery Light has been lit after start-up and dims when my revs go up. Just tonight my CD player would only play a couple seconds of a song then pause. It would also dim quite low then there would be crazy characters on the display.

My headlights and dash lights dim when ...

so if i can replace the seals myself it won't cost much at all? or will having to buy all the new gaskets raise the cost anyway?

i'd definetly be into doing it with a buddy if i can get the parts and gaskets for cheap but if it is gonna be expensive for just those pieces i dunno what i would do ...

What does it cost to get those replaced?

My codes say I have a faulty EGR and when I start my car cold I have blue smoke until the engine spins up for a bit or it gets warm.

I wonder if the EGR would be causing back pressure and making the oil blow by the seals and into the combustion chamber. Does this make sense? Could this happen ...

So if my codes are showing a problem with the EGR and with a new EGR being around $500 from Mazda can I just remove it from the engine altogether? What would happen if I just take it right off or if I leave it on but not fully connect it so that its unoperational?

I found out that my problem with ...

I took a look at it and its defintely not unplugged nor is the connector in bad shape.

16 = EGR Position Sensor

24 = Feed Back system (right side)

28 = Solenoid valve (EGR-vaccum)

Oh ya, and when I start the car cold it puffs blue smoke for a bit until it's warm. Should I add that engine stop leak for oil or is there actually something I should look at getting fixed?

I bought my 92 MX-3 GS 2 weeks ago and have now started seeing the CEL come on after driving on the highway. I grabbed the codes and got them in this order: 16 then 24 then 28.

Anyone know what I should check first to fix this? Thanks.
