im doing a bpt swap and wanted to know where i could find a good lightweight flywheel, clutch ... and what year proteges would have the 5 speed trans to swap out my blown f series for?

Use the search function.

There are no good lightweight flywheels for the BP's. Use the stock BP flywheel from a 90-94 Protege LX (dohc), Mecury Tracer, or Ford Escort GT (91-96). The N/A flywheels are lighter than GTX flywheels.

so what cars can i pull the g series trans out of? or are they the ones you mentioned?

he said it there in plain english do ur search its not that hard..

I only found this information by SEARCHING. You're welcome.

VII. Transmission Information:

To clear up any confusions, you must understand that all of the cars listed above have transmissions that will directly bolt onto ANY of the engines in this FAQ. YES YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL BOLT UP!!! Now that you know that, you might be wondering about possibly swapping your transmission for a stronger G-series transmission. If you have a 323, MX-3 or Protege DX, you have a Mazda F-series gearbox. This transmission should hold up well to any of these engines. It has taller gear ratios which are geared for fuel economy over performance and smaller, 22mm diameter axles. It has been known to hold up to about 200 horsepower and ft-lbs of torque without reliabilty issues when not abused.

The Protege LX, Escort GT & LX-E and Tracer LTS all have G-series transmissions. These transmissions are used in numerous Mazdas including all 2.0 4-cylinder & 2.5 V6 MX-3, MX-6, 626, Ford Probe and 01+ Protege's. They have been known to hold up to over 300hp and ft-lbs of torque when not abused. They use 24mm axles and utilize an intermediate shaft to reduce torque steer when accelerating off the line. All G-series transmission have either a 4.11 or 4.39 final drive ratio and short gear ratios for quicker acceleration at the expense of fuel economy.

To swap a F-series for a G-series, you will need to get the axles, intermediate shaft and hubs with brakes from a 90-94 Protege LX, 92-94 MX-3 GS or 91-96 Ford Escort GT/LX-E or Tracer LTS. Swapping those parts out will allow you to use one of these transmissions. Be sure to get the transmission mount brackets & mounts when you buy your transmission as they will be needed to mount it.

Yes. Your search was fine and that's exactly what it takes. You do not need the hubs to swap transaxles though (that info is wrong). Make sure you have the mount brackets for the G series transaxle, flywheel, clutch, half-shaft, and axles.
