Hey guys, please i need someone to help me with a question; I´m about to change my broken transmission (gearbox) and replace it with a new one from the junkyard. I am wondering if a transmission from a Mazda 323 would fit in my MX3 -93 16V SOHC? Must i have a transmission from the exakt same car as mine, or can i use for example a transmission from a MX3 DOHC on my MX3 SOHC? Oh and I don´t think I can use a transmission from a MX3 V6, or can I?<p>Please help me so I don´t go to the junkyard and buy a transmission that wouldn´t fit in my car.<p>Thanks!<p>PS sorry if i posted this in 2 forums, but i don´t know wich forum it belongs DS..

You cannot use the v6 tranny as it has a different bell housing. The 323 will work though.

OK! thanx man! Do you know from what model (year) on a 323 i can take a tranny from? can I take it from any model, can I take a tranny from a 323 DOHC and use it with my 16V SOHC? If i find a tranny from a Civic, you think I could use it? It´s hard and expensive to find trannys for the MX3 16V here in Sweden, so I´m looking for cheaper variants, such as ones from a 323 or Civic, please help me if you know if i could do that!
thanx!
