Anyways, The tranny is finished... wont harldy shift or move the car forward at all... anyways i need to get the car running again.
I was thinking of putting in a readily availible KLDE out of a Probe GT or MX-6 but if i swap in another 1.8L v6 mx3 auto transmission the tranny will blow up again im sure in no time.
Question is, will the automatic V6 tranny from the MX-6 or Probe fit into the MX3?
I know the 5-speeds are direct swaps... wondering about the auto's.
I know most people will say do a 5-speed swap, but the car has to stay a automatic car. No 5-speed swaps will be done.
Whats my best bet? just swap in another automatic 1.8L V6 tranny and keep the stock 1.8L V6 in there and hope for the best? I dont really care to get any extra power anyways. I just want the car driveable and reliable again. The 1.8L V6 is probably good for gas mileage anyways instead of swapping in a big 2.5L KLDE or ZE.
And one more thing. For swapping the tranny (or replacing it), How hard is it to remove the automatic tranny out of a MX3?? Can i just take the axles out and linkages, etc and drop the tranny out the bottom of the car?? is it fairly easy to remove and put back intogether? I have done quite a bit of tranny replacements on other cars... but never on a MX3. I know some automatics are so bit you have to remove the whole bottom subframe to allow for clearance to remove the auto trans. On some cars it easier to remove the whole engine/trans as a unit and do the replacement once its out of the enginebay.
So pretty much just wondering how hard of a job it is to replace a V6 auto trans in my 92 MX3?
Thanks guys
