Did you coat it or do anything to protect it after the bead blasting?Custommx3 wrote:You should have bead blasted it instead of sand blasted it.
I had my KL IM glass bead blasted, looks more metallic.
Did you happen to have both tranny's side by each and if so was there any tell tale visibal signs to distinguish the MX6 from the MX3? Any stampings or markings to reflect it as an MX6 tranny?mx3ze wrote:KL-ZE and MX6 Tranny

Hey, thanks very much. Wrt engine mounts - it's still a direct bolt up, is it not? Wrt sensor connectors, is it a different connector all together and requires wire cutting and soldering or just unscrewing MX6 units and directly fitting the MX3 mounts and sensors? Basically, it's not too difficult a retrofit is it? A shady tree mechanic like myself shouldn't have too many problems - right? I more than likely get a professional to install due to limitations of place to install. But your feedback and do's and don't's will be a great asset to pass on to the mechanic.

Visible differences are: tranny’s mounts (shape and position) and sensor connectors (speedometer, back-up light and oil). You have to use all stock mounts and sensors.
