6 speed for a 4 cylinder?
I own a 93' MX-3 that is in need of a new transmission and I was wandering if it would be smart or even possible to put a 6 speed manual transmission into it? if so what other factors would come into play?
did you know that my mx-3 thinks....?

Re: 6 speed for a 4 cylinder?
thats a terrible idea. Bell housings are different, axles are different, speedometer is different,
Wait. 6 speed? where would you get that? how would you geet it to fit? Its not like they make universal units. Ha, I was giving you the benefit of assuming you had meant 6 cyl transmission.
No, doens't work, if it did, we would have done it long ago.

Re: 6 speed for a 4 cylinder?
Why would you want to shift so many times. We burn through the gears now as it is.
Took the bp+t out of the mx and swapped it into a 95 escort wagon. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: 6 speed for a 4 cylinder?
The 4 cyl is more torque/hp peaky, more gears would let you stay in that RPM range longer.

Re: 6 speed for a 4 cylinder?
Only B motor series proteges (look like 323)
And the GT (BP)s come with G transmissions, which work, but require new stuff like axles and I believe spindles...
