since you have a sohc, just use ALL of the tranny parts. flywheel, clutch, TO bearing, etc. also, make sure to use your mx3 cv axles.
Fast imports only come on two wheels.

There are other cars you can get this transmission from...here is the list:<p>90-94 Protege LX
91-96 Ford Escort GT
91-96 Ford Escort LX-E
91-96 Mercury Tracer LTS
95 Mazda Protege ES
01-present Mazda Protege (but not sure if the mounting is the same)
97-00 Kia Sephia (you'd use your mounting brackets for it)<p>I found multiple sephia transmissions for under 100 dollars USD near me. I was going to buy one but it was a pick it yourself yard and I didn't have time to pull the transmission. I will probably pull one later on.<p>[ April 09, 2003: Message edited by: Gro Harlem ]</p>
