Post by Nd4SpdSe »

I know the its recommended to change the clutch, but how will the 5spd tranny on the 1.8 Mx-3 hold up under 2.5l power?

Would there be any reason to get it changed?
Should i once the engine is out or does it make no difference?

the only reason you would get it changed is if you want the ZE tranny which in some cases comes with a LSD.

If you get a LSD let us know where you found the axles since they have more splines on them.
