Keep ECU and change out VAF. If you get a headache doing that .........Spinkx79 wrote:FYI - The 96 is OBDII so if you are ever planning on putting a KLZE or DE into it you will have some extra headaches (ie. harness no workie).
If its just gonna be a grocery getter it wont be an issue.
The autos on the V6 are still issues. I wouldn't touch it unless they had receipts showing transmission fluid flushes were done every 30K miles. Mazda didn't fix the automatic isssues with any of thier cars until 2000 or so.

cool thanks guys. it wont be modded at all...other then say a cai or something. yeah im not sure about the auto tranny...what sort of issues do they have? poor performance? blowing up? never had a auto mazda.
whats a rough dollar figure you might have in mind. keep in mind its a totally mint body and 80000 original kms.

No more than about $3,000.00 cdn max. Unless you're really bent on that car, as lakersfan said, that tranny is one from hell. A quick look at any given time in the for sale forum and you'll see members looking for replacement tranny's for their V6's. Strongly urged to stay clear, unless this is only a temporary situation and you'll be looking to unload it in a year or two. Not something to look for in long term reliability.
If she's all that interested in driving a sporty type car, it's best that she get used to the idea of driving a stick. It costs nothing to learn, only determination, will, desire and patience. Those that drive both will probably claim that driving ATX's is boring and uninteresting. If you want a fun car, it should have a stick. If you're looking for a grocery getter, look at a 4dr ATX.

"How do I drive this thing?"
"I don't know, just grind it till it sticks"
I learned to drive stick on a $500 car. When the clutch finally gave after 6 months, then I got a new Sentra with a stick and that car went 130K miles + on the stock clutch.
