Hey guys...would it be hard to change a '93 gs automatic into a 5 speed stick? i found a blue gs for less than 5000 but im not crazy about the auto...i mean if i put ground effects on it and fixed it up sweet wouldnt people still think it wuz a pussy car b-cuz it a automatic?

I'd get the stick car from the start, as it's a hassle for the unexperienced to swap trannies.<P>/<I>me has swapped a tranny before </I><P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>

i know someone that will do it for me.....done it to tons of camaros. is it hard with an mx-3. Oh and isnt the '93 and anniversary addition or sumin. im prolly wrong but i saw alot of 93's with a 2.5l v6.

I have a 93 MX-3 Special Edition. They are nice <P>A RWD tranny swap is WAY easier than a FWD V6 tranny swap. Reasons: <BR>-There is room to work. <BR>-You don't have to dismantle the suspension to get the gearbox out<BR>-You don't have to remove all the cross members and engine mounts [save one]<BR>-You can just drop the engine down and slide a RWD tranny back and out it pops [sorta, its obviously more complicated than that, but its significantly easier than a FWD tranny swap.]<P>I've dropped a tranny on a 4wd [close to a RWD setup B2200 and my car. I'd take doing it on the B2200 over the MX-3, even though the 250# pound tranny got dropped on me [the MX-3 MTX weighs around 80# ]<P>------------------<BR>David Coleman- <B><I>Moderator</B></I><BR><A HREF="http://www.PinkMX-3.com" TARGET=_blank>1993 Mazda MX-3 GS Special Edition</A><BR><B><I>Why get clear tail lights when only Geo Metros are gonna see them?</I></B>
