ok wait a sec here, you didnt actually disassemble the cv shafts did you?
I am assuming you used a pry bar to pop them out of the tranny..

Okay, so... sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys, internet is down- but get this?
The BP that i bought came with a tranny- I figured since the tranny came out of the same year of mx-3 that it would match MY mx-3... NOT!!
Here was the problem-
The Drive shaft cups on the tranny that came with the BP were smaller then my stock Tranny cups ( cups = thing that you put end of drive shafts into)
so.... i got the whole damn thing bolted up and the MY shafts didnt fit in HIS tranny that came out of a freakin 92' mx-3.. (same year as mine)
Apperantly my Drive shafts and cups are bigger and only fit in THIS tranny.. unless i changed out the cups...
i called some guy who worked for mazda and he said hes never heard of anything like that.... the drive shafts not fitting into the tranny cups... WTF???
anybody else have this problem???
word of advice- if your ever swapping trannys... Make damn sure that your using the right size cups.
In the end i used my tranny wich thankfully was in good shape and everything bolted up and i finished my bp swap today! go me!!
