The motor will bolt up to a 4cl tranny. The v6 will not bolt to the AWD tranny.

Also, you cant use the AWD system without lots of modifications. Its not a plug-n-play system by any means. Remember, your gas tank is where the driveshaft would go.

Yeah, i think there's a couple of AWD RS MX3's on here, maybe they can help?

If you're wanting to stay V6, then you may want to look at the Mazda Capella wagon, or the Mazda Proceed/Suzuki Vitara (early models used the KF engine), they are probably JDM-only models though


oh, that MPS was a show car, i wouldn't be suprised if it didn't actually work lol!

If you want to stay V6 try the Mazda MPV van, they came AWD with V6, but in ATX only.

the swap requires a fair amount of moding to the rear subframe

Hmmm, the only MPV's i've seen are the 3.0 V6 :shrug: but maybe the US-spec cars are different?

Without doing any ACTUAL research, i'm pretty sure even the KF Vitara/Proceeds were auto only. Kinda ironic really, Mazda made crappy auto gearboxes and then fitted them to frickn everything! Hmmm, i can't work out why they almost went bankrupt :roll:
