I think I have a pedal assembly, shifter itself (no linkage), ECM... thats all you'd even want to consider shipping. Shipping costs are usually unreasonable.

**** the 92 mx-3 was sold that sucks i asked the the dude to wait till the first would have the $500 then. he said he would but as the old sayin goes money talks lol. if anyone has ever some of the parts i needs thats in the southern il area. hell i be willing to travel if the price was right and the person had what i needed. i am even willing to do the work of pulling the parts off said car. that may be the best cause i could see where everything goes. lol i am going to search an find out what all cars had the same mtx tranny as an mx-3 hope there are more options out there lol. i know know i would still need to get all the linkages and stuff and master cylinder unless mine has the tap and the donar car's tranny is compatible with my master cylinger. well thanks all the longer this takes to get the parts the more money i save up to do it lol so i guess its a win win lol trying to stay positive

you don't ever need the brake master cylinder, just the reservoir. It just pops out of the rubber grommits.

I was just looking through my parts for you, I found a "B6DE" ECM with two plugs on it. I don't know jack about the DOHCs, so I'm not sure what its specs are exactly... I'm finding out.

well i found alot of the parts i need online only about 5 hours away. they dont have the shifter or any of the linkages or clutch pedals. they got a manual tranny for $200 good deal from a junk yard.

01 Proteges are F series engines, nothing will be the same, its not a sister car anymore.
