Man, I want a longer 1st and 5th gear, and a 2nd gear synchro that works. This stuff sounds kinda complicated. I'll have to read through all of it some time. Maybe I'll learn something.

Cool, without reading all the pages did anyone get it to work w/ the probes?
I heard yes and no during my 3 page rd

yeah it does work...there was a escort owner on here...going on about it a while ago, I will search for the thread...You have to use the Protege's shift forks though, with Escort gears or something (which are actually still sourced from Mazda of Japan)...but you can play around with the ratio's pretty easily...

I don't understand the MTX-75 box stuff though...We essentially have a Probe's gearbox...case is similar, and internals are identical for the four cylinder models I think (the PGT's were barely different)...so I guess the MTX-75 is a Ford case, with mazda internals or something...

any protege owners do it already?

I'm surprized this hasn't been all over the forum a million times like all the turbo's and superchargers and tornado's

I could dig a taller 5th gear

taller 5th would be awesome.

Kooldino, you pulling the tranny soon? any issues, or just upgrading?

That was my only complaint about the car after I bought it. They should have used a 6-speed transmission. Other than that everything is pretty darn sweet about the Mazda Speed.
