What's the difference between the MSP Transmission and the Protege/Protege5 Transmission besides the LSD? Can I put the regular 2.0L Protege transmission in the MSP and everything will bolt up and work fine? I'm trying to source a transmission for the MSP and its proving very difficult.

Bought it with the throwout bearing whining. Got too lazy to replace the clutch til it finally broke. Sucks it got that far, but yeah

Transmission and housing. Throwout bearing was whining for abt 20K, then pieces of the clutch broke off and theres holes in the bell housing. So just going to be safe and do the transmission over and brand new clutch.

Mine is up for sale again too and I'm in kaukauna. Contact me if you want more info, but I've got to replace the broken pieces before you can have it. The typical transmission issue, so you wont have it anymore :)

Where is the clutch adjustment on these cars? Anyone know?

The whole third brake light housing just broke off my car on my commute to work. Both pillars that hold the bolts in place have cracked in half. How do I fix this? it is currently electric taped around my spoiler to keep it from swaying in the wind and scratching the paint up. Can I just order...
