- 2002 mazda protege5
Just bought a 2002 auto p5, and I'm planning to do a manual swap at the beginning of the summer. I build SCCA cars so difficulty isn't an issue. Neither is money. Please don't respond by saying "sell it and buy a stick", you'll just be wasting both of our time. I've used the search function on this forum (which sucks) and not found the answers I need, which is why I'm making a new post.
Now, for the questions. What cars/years can I get the actual trans from? does a manual from a 1.8 protege work with a 2.0? how about a 626? I have no problem finding these at the junk yard, but there aren't 2.0 proteges in my area very often. I can get a pedal box and shifter from a junk yard, and I'll buy axles, flywheel, clutch and master cylinder new. Once i source everything else, ill send my ecu to get flashed with an mp3 tune, so the only thing i really need is the trans itself.
