Apparently my transmission seal is bad and gave me a greasy clutch on my ZE. The transmission has LSD installed and zx2 gears with a protege 5th gear just so ppm know what's the transmission is.
So not excited about this but the work has to be done right?

Ok here's a starting point just to put the fear of the tranny Gods into you.

Good luck my friend and hey, good idea creating a new post for this.

wytbishop says this has an excellent step by step instruction for rebuilding a trans but I can't see where it is. You supposedly have to sign up to view the forums. maybe pm him. http://www.imazda.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2701

Did you say you wanted more pics, http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.ph ... it=rebuild

Just remembered finding this, not sure if it's relevant now but you can check the part numbers when ordering.
There was a production change on 14.Feb 2002, when the weak parts in the old transmission were replaced by stronger parts (mainshaft,synchros,3/4 gear and more!).

Nope, sorry. That's the link I was talking about on the other thread. I was registered on that forum. It's dead.

Ya, that's what having a member like you will do to a site.

Hoo boy, am I in for a treat! I'm not excited about this at all. It looks pretty intimidating. Man I wish I had someone that would work with me on this, I would feel so much better. But oh well! Let's see what happens, I dunno if I'll get to it this week or in two weeks, but I'll let you all know more once I start tearing into it!

Yeah. Too bad you're that far away, or I could give you a hand.
My advise to you would be the same I give everybody: take it one task at a time, and document every move (take plenty of pictures), so if you have a problem, you have some back up.
Anyway, if you can, get a J/Y tranny, just in case. Later on, if everything goes well, you can return it.
