Transmission UPGRADE

Post by Ray »

I think I have the oldest mx3 here as it is from 17/9-91, :-), anyway I have had it for about 3 month now and being used to drive very fast motorcycles, I have just ordered my new KL_ZE engine and wont stop there and here comes the IF:<BR>Allthrough I shift the engine it wont give me more topspeed whith the old transmission, so is there ANYTHING that fits, I would see about 240-50 km per hour as acceptabel, thanks everybody for all the info here, I love my MX3 anyway.

To repeat the issue here:<BR>Is there an TRANSMISSION that fits the MX3 and takes advantage of the ekstra HP when you put in an 2.5L (KL_ZE + chip + clutch + airintake), regarding higher topspeed without blasting the engine to pieces ???

You could get a gearbox from an Escort GT or Mazda Capella wagon, which have the same gears except for a taller final gearing, though it wont allow 200mph @ 7000RPM unless you get some considerably taller tires.<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><A HREF="http://www.wuname.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl" TARGET=_blank><B><I>Wu Name</I></B></A>
