swap/transmission question
Posted: January 8th, 2006, 9:45 pm
ok, im going to swap a bp in...
im getting a engine and 5 speed from a protege lx, also gunna pull a harness and ECU... least thats the plan
if i have a sohc 1.6 5 speed atm, i know the engine bolts in, what else would i need? do i need new tranny mounts? also, do the axles for the protege tranny fit the standard hubs on the mx-3 for the sohc tranny? and one more thing, i do-do a bit of traveling, and i was wondering if the gearing on the protege tranny will be a bit friendlier at high end, since my current tranny in 5th gear only lets me get about 70 tops, and thats keepign it at like 4-5k RPM
thanks for any answers...
