WTK Automatic to Manual Conversion

[Mike93]

Hey tuners, looking for some advice here. I've got a Mazda 323F/Lantis and the tranny giving real problems recently, so I'm considering converting to manual as I've heard that a transmission for these cars hard to find. What I'd like to know is what parts exactly I would need, and also how difficult of a conversion would it be, as in would I encounter any problems after the conversion.

A Little additional info: The car was originally automatic, but then converted to manual. After which the owner converted it back to auto before sale, and it's one that has B6DOHC engine.

Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks guys.

It may cost cheaper to get an engine and gearbox cheaper and do a swap out instead of trying to change out the tranny.

You mean using back a same B6 engine? or converting to another type of engine??

Thanks for the assistance, haven't actually spoken to my mech yet about it, just wanted to hear some opinions first before I talked to him about changing the tranny/conversion etc... all he knows is that the tranny was giving me some problems.

Thanks bro, but I ended up just replacing the automatic transmission as I wasn't getting any gearboxes at the time when I drove around in the bamboo.....and maztune took about 2 months to reply to my message about the gearbox

You could have installed a Zlve engine and transmission:auto or gearbox as well
