New to the forum, but i've been zoom zoomin for 10 years. I've got a 2001 ES 2.0 manual that i've put 145 memorable, fun, zoom zoom miles on. Now it's blown cause I had a leak and put too much of a good thing (oil) in it.
Found an engine 10 minutes away that's cheaper than most other engines i've found. It's still in the car and turns on, sounds good, and runs. Only problem is that it's an automatic, and i ain't switchin! I'm keepin the stick! The guy who's selling it, the MAZDA dealer, and my mechanic have all said and heard different things but MAZDA says it "should" work. I'm trying to get a little more assurance from someone who has done it or at least knows it can be done, and what to expect.
SO, i think it can be done, but i want to be sure before I buy it....what do you think?
