Has anyone ever used a mazda 323 five speed in a festiva. May be a dumb question ( wont be my first ) as I never paid much attention to 323 trannys. But I was thinking since the B6 bolts up to the festiva tranny could a person use a 323 tranny in a festiva w/o a lot of modding. Didnt the 86-89 323 have the same tranny as a festiva ? Is there a difference in axles, spline count or steering hubs ?

It should bolt up, I wonder though if the axles are a different length or diameter. But if we can use the manual, maybe we could use the automatic too isn't it a 4 spd? -
Well, I am pretty sure that the tranny in my 89' 323 GT is a G5MR, but I'm no genius.2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

you are right but the tranny Fresh is talking about is the F-series tranny (which came in the SOHC B6, 86-89 323's), which i have installed in my BP carOriginally posted by EightZero View Post
the F trans is almost identical looking to the G trans but i doesn't use an intermediate shaft so axles are easy to find, and making the mounts is pretty much the same as installing a G trans

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?Comment
