Ok so I blew the old tranny. Got one out of a 95 probe. And it works flawlessly, except that when I put the car in 5th while driving, its as if I'm not in gear. The revs go up which means the sensor is reading that I'm in gear but nothing... if I push the stick farther it grinds a bit as if 5th is there but "too far away." My linkage is missing those two tiny bushings where it connects to the tranny which I purchased and will be installing in the next day or two but can onyone give some insight on what it might be in case that's not the problm? I just don't think those tiny bushings can physicslly cause this. Then again I could be wrong
EDIT: ok the bushings did not fix the problem... the shifter feels perfectly like it's in 5th gear but there's just nothing there.
UPDATE: 7/19
ok first off, the nuts on the probe tranny are a 32mm and a 27mm. second. the 5th/reverse from the protege is a COMPLETELY different part than it was on the 95 probe. problem with that is that gunther mazda won't take the part back (not even for an exchange for the proper part WHICH THEY CAN ORDER) i even offered a restocking fee. the part is UNUSED!
anyway as soon as i took the assy. off the car popped right back out of gear. the turns out this was the problem... teeth were mangled up a bit. all i need now is to actually convince them to exchange the part (have someone who works in sales working on that for me, friend of mine) i'll keep you guys posted.
