u need rhe tranny mount on top of the tranny
it should come with it antways

GREAT JUST GOT SCREWED! Attemped To Install it This Morning...... and the throttle pin had 22 spleens where as my clutch had 20.... so i guess no j-spec tranny for me.... im not gonna buy a freakin new clutch! all i want is my stock tranny... or anything with the same bolt pattern and same amount of spleens on the throttle pin.... anyone have any ideas?

you do have a clutch kit for a protege right?

no why i need one? how much is that gonna cost? isnt it just better to get a stock tranny again?
Or Will i notice better performance with the 1.8 j-spec tranny? Also is the protege the only car i can get it off of?<p>[ May 03, 2003: Message edited by: ALLSPEED GiNO ]</p>

Why are you using a G25 tranny with a B6? The only time you should be using that tranny (in most cases) is with a BP swap. You will need the mount as well as the different clutch in order for this setup to work on you B6. May even need to swap axles (could be wrong).

CRAP! lol so i wont get any better performance? and how much do you think a clutch would cost...? also what are swap axles? :S teeheh thanks man.

Sure a stock tranny would be simpler to put in but what if that "j-spec" tranny has an lsd? Wouldn't you want to keep it? I sure would. Find out if it has the lsd first. If it does, I would upgrade the flywheel and clutch. Doing so would be a good performance increase - better grip, better handling, better cornering, greater clutch capacity. If it doesn't, well, what you do with it is up to you. Essentially what you are doing is the tranny portion of the BP swap, refer to the FAQs for notes on that. I can't guarantee that you would need the axles but to the best of my knowledge I think you will.

Okie... Thanks a Bunch Chris! I'll Let you guys kno What Happens By Tuesday<p>Thanks To Everyone Else! You Guys Are The Best!<p>[ May 03, 2003: Message edited by: ALLSPEED GiNO ]</p>
