Easy Question
Easy Question
My name is Roman, live near Denver, Pennsylvania, anyways my friend has a 1993 MX3 1.6L SOHC, and his 5 speed gave out on him, gears 2, 4 and R, don't work. Now for some good news he found a totaled 1995 MX3 with 1.6L DOHC engine and 5 speed tranny, I plan on doing the swap for him and I would like to know if the DOHC engine is just plug and play with the SOHC harness. Thanks a lot, I'm sorry if this is commonly asked I just couldn't find another post.

Re: Easy Question
The DOHC and SOHC are significantly different. There is a lot of swap information in the 4Cyl FAQ section. Read everything in there and you’ll have a better idea.
The tranny does swap straight in though if you’re looking to get the car back on the road easily.
