Ya my brothers just fine, i thik he only got a small scratch on his hand from a piece of glass lol
Anyway here's tonights progress
Trimmed out most of the un-used stock harness so i have a nice clean looking engine bay when the swap is completed
All the cut wiring
Then i got the 5 speed tranny bolted to the KJ starting with the clutch..... like my clutch alignment tool? haha
Then the tranny on the KJ
Next time i make it out to the garage i'll be starting to strip the KJ harness and getting it prepped for the install, and i'm also hoping to get the KJ in the engine bay for it's first test fit

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

Are you using the MX6 transmission that came with the car? I'd say, especially if it's an MX3 final drive, you'd want to swap out 5th to keep the revs down with that SC. It would be easy to do since you have it out of the car.sigpic

So today i trimmed the transmission to clear the coolant lines,
-labelled the rest of the KJ harnes and removed it from the engine
-cut out the KL Y-pipe
And got the KJ into the protege for its first test fit
And here's my hood clearance.... may need to trim the hood bracing a bit

Thanks man, for a bit i wasn't even sure if the hood was gunna close haha hell i had to remove the rear intercooler just to get it passed the master cylinder lol
I forgot to mention, the rear tranny mount does not bolt up, the rear exhaust manifold hits the steering rack and is keeping the rear tranny mount about 1/4" away from bolting up, so chances are i'll try switching the manifolds for the KL ones so i don't run into any issues there

Thanks Ryan, as for the halfshaft, i think i am able to re-use the millenia halfshaft with the swap, but i threw the axles in the millenia when i scrapped it *facepalm* so i may look into getting another one to experiment with

Thanks buddy, next time i get out to the garage, i'll pull the KJ, swap the manifold and hopefully by then i'll have the wiring ready to go and when the KJ gets back in the P5, hopefully i'd be able to try starting it but we'll see how it goes lol
