Well guys, the new year is just some days away, and I will be making plans to obtain all the parts I need to do the manual swap. This has been long overdue, so you can imagine how happy I am to get this underway and if any of you guys have any of the parts needed to to the manual swap, then, please, let me know.
Thanks,...

Re: JRORS - 1993 MX-3 RS
Hi guys. It's been awhile since I've posted on my worklog, however, I still have a auto tranny in. Yes I know they are not perfect trannies, but I've had this one for over a year now, and the difference is how I drive now. On the other autobox I had, I was going 90 mph and above with it on the highways... just dogging it to death. With this tranny, I still have a aftermarket tranny cooler installed, but now, I just take my time getting to where I need to go... never really going above 70 mph on the highways. And when I do go above 70 on the highway, I go no further that 80 mph, and that's just to pass someone going slower than I am.
So, it might not be a fast RS, but I do keep her in excellent running condition. I not long ago, had a Pioneer Navigation unit installed in her, and the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, both belts and upper and lower radiator hoses replaced. And I'm getting the AC unit serviced for the summertime season coming up... as well as replacing both axels next month.
Also, here are various pics I've taken. Hope you all like them... and let me know if you do!
Take care untill next time guys.

Re: JRORS - 1993 MX-3 RS
Have fun replacing the axles. It was one of my favorite things to do on my mx-3.... ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: JRORS - 1993 MX-3 RS
LOL! That's a good one mooneggs. The car was parked on a hill, with a dip in it were that rear wheel was sitting at when I took that... yeah, the pic came out really funny!no not at all... just the first thing I thought of because of the bushes
Yeah, I hear you on that xxwhiteboyjim22xx. But, I'm taking my MX to the shop and letting my mechanic do it. I did my passenger side axle about 4 years ago, and after that prolonged ordeal, that was more than a notion that me replacing axels just isn't my cup of tea! (Have fun replacing the axles. It was one of my favorite things to do on my mx-3....

Re: JRORS - 1993 MX-3 RS
GOOD idea!! I replacee one of them on my mx-3. Ive taken it off about 3 times now to change the various things I havent got quite right on it. And its still not right...
Re: JRORS - 1993 MX-3 RS
Yeah, the price to get them done shouldn't be to bad on them. My right side axle is starting to click, so I'll be taking the Mx to the mechanic sooner than later.
