Ryan, I just thought that I would let you know that this weekend I put a 95 Protege 1.5L Automatic Transmission into our 94 DOHC 4 cyl 1.6L MX-3. I used the Protege torque converter, had to swap the speed sensor (which unless you grind the edge, you won't get the 10mm to bolt it securely, but since ...

I just wanted to post back in case it helps anyone else in the future. I ended up putting in an AT from a wrecked 95 Protege that had a 1.5L in it. I was pretty sure it was the same transmission, but it seemed I never came across anyone who confirmed it. Anyway, I also used the Protege's torque ...

Wow, I never even considered that. After not being able to find anything on Duratane on the internet, I did find this thread http://importnut.net/motormount.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and I will give that a try. Thanks for your suggestion, Daninski!

I would like to replace all 4 mounts on our 94 MX-3. They need to be from a 94+ 1.6L automatic. I mainly need the 3 mounts at the tranny (front, rear, and driver shock tower) but will buy a complete set as long as they are in good shape, I am interested. Can pay with PayPal and looking to buy ...

I posted this in the transmission section, but I figured only people with problems browse there and the traffic here is much more. The automatic transmission in my mom's 94 RS is bad. There is not a cheap local AT for her car, but at the U-Pull-It yard, there is a wrecked 92 with the SOHC 4 cyl ...

The automatic transmission in my mom's 94 RS is bad. There is not a cheap local AT for her car, but at the U-Pull-It yard, there is a wrecked 92 with the SOHC 4 cyl engine and a good AT. I would think it would work, but would I need to swap the tranny computer as well? Surely it should bolt up, but ...

Thanks for the responses. I didn't know they could be reused since I mainly deal with DSMs and Supras. I was just really shocked when I couldn't find 10 bolts for under $100 shipped anywhere.

Our 94 MX-3 has been down for months. I had to buy a used cylinder head, had it completely reworked, and now I can't find new head bolts outside of the Mazda dealer. They want $12 per bolt, and I cannot justify buying 10 bolts for more than I can get a used motor for. Had I not already bought a head ...

Hey, there is a local company here that sells good used motors, (I've bought several with no complaints) and they have a DOHC 1.6 from a 95 for $350.00. However, you would have to pay shipping which would probably run $250 or so...

I recently pulled a head off a 94 1.6 at the junk yard and left the manifold lying in the engine bay. I guess make an offer, and I can run out there and buy it, then ship it to you. If interested, let me know, because I have to make sure it is still there.

PM'd you...

Whoever you ship through is ripping you off if a 1.6 head costs you nearly $100 to ship. I have sent plenty of heavier 2.0 DOHC DSM heads out for around $23 each through USPS. The UPS store sent out a complete 5-sp FWD transmission for me 2 weeks ago going to California for $93, and that is after ...

The local import salvage wants $350 for a complete good motor with 110k on it. I was hoping to find a head in the $75-$150 range. Just my luck, I sold the extra good head I had from a 95 MX-3 for $50 to a local kid, and now 8 months later, I wish I hadn't sold it.

If I don't get any responses here, I am just going to buy a complete motor Monday. I need a good complete cylinder head for a DOHC 4 cylinder MX-3. I would like the cams and caps to be included. Mine had the intake cam seize up and if I can get away with just swapping the heads, that would be great ...

How about a Fall meet here in KC?
