323 F series tranny question

[ruppenduro]

is anybody here running a 323 f series tranny? I just bought a 89 mercury tracer (basically a bf 323) with the f series trans, and i`m getting ready to drop a b6t into it. I have found some clutches for it, but only oem spec for 86-89 323's. There are some cheap stage one clutches on ebay, but they are listed for 90-94 323's. My question is, does anyone know if the input shaft spline count is the same from 86-94 on the 323 f series tranny? any help is appeciated.

im running one in my bpt aspire. im acually using a 94 protege 1.8sohc clutch and flywheel. im using a stage 3 off of ebay that grabs very nice. hope this helps. also match ur flywheel with the clutch so if you get a protege clutch use their flywheel also.

i will be running a 88 323 f series tranny. aspireguy95 you said you are running a protege clutch and flywheel would i be able to run a protege clutch and stuff? or only if it came out of a newer car?

[aspireguy95]

yes. im using the f series out of an 88 mazda 323. as long as you use the 90 to 94 dx sohc protege the clutch and flywheel will work

All F-series trannies had the same input spline count.

ok cool that might be cheaper than the 323 stuff

Hey aspire guy has that tranny handle daily abuse well what's ur feelings on f series so far

[aspireguy95]

so far it has handled daily abuse. 14000 miles on the bpt setup and about 20000 on the bp. still shifts smooth and havent had a problem yet. im not gonna lie its had some pretty abusing things lol. i would reccommed using it. plus the axle configuration is way easier than a g series.

plus the axle configuration is way easier than a g series.

I have to definately agree on this, i used and F series on my BP swap and it worked great, plus you wouldn't have to modify the intermediate shaft to work with the BP

Modifying the halfshaft is not that hard

[aspireguy95]

the hard part is finding the halfshaft for a reasonable price lol
