speed whiz said:The mazdaspeed tranny was built to sustain power with bigger drive axels, a lsd and different gears. No roger this isnt't your tiptcal mazda tranny. Looking for a crank try street unit I heard they have a crank? And if mazda only allowed 170hp why didn't they just give it the Familia sport 20 motor or a fs-ze.
Sorry...the Mazdaspeed Protege has the exact same gears in the tranny as any 2001-2003 LX or ES tranny.....
And yes stock HP for the MSP is 170HP....the MSP motor is referred to as the FS-DET but is exactly the same as any Protege motor from 2001-2003 internally!!!
