whats the best option of backup msp transmission?

[callphy]

should i try to find a msp transmission and weld the LSD, or should i just pick up a regular 01-03 protege/Por5 transmission and throw in a LSD (will it work?)

Depends if you can find an MSP trans, most people can't so they get an open diff trans and buy an LSD or swap in their stock diff. If yours hasn't broken by now I wouldn't expect it to.

Best option would be to ditch the factory LSD, and upgrade to MFactory or equivalent. Keep in mind the Probe, MX6, and 626 tranny's are good donors also.

heard they all having different gear ratio and final drive, and i think some of the 626s are for V6 engine?(that wont fit right?)

theres some protege transmission from local junkyard for sure

if installing a LSD in them will work just like MSP one, then its the route i would go.

btw does it has to be 01-03 protege/pro5 2.0L ? how about the earlier model or 1.8L
