There is a lot of them in SFL and most besides westpalmGT don't post a whole lot of the forums because most of their ideas are unconventional and the forums usually don't take well to new and unaccepted ideas.


Just like people said I couldn't make the guages work on a 323 body harness, yet I did

i was told that the "goldmember" made 500 also.. and yes florida has alot of power down there. Just have to find them! lol

Leo 323 car times improved when he switch trans.Get it.I had both trans.shorter final is good for the track,longer is good for the highway.

That's andy, and those numbers are not final yet.. he's got a few things to work on

[klzemx3]

Bad thing about making that much power is the transmission aint going to hold up at all.Too much tq!!lol

stock transmissions were last lasting deep into the 12's for most of them.



gearing depends on your setup, if your N/A and you dont have to shift to 5th before the end of the 1/4 than stay with the shorter gears and work on making more powa

good points to all, but here's another question.

the trans is a '93. has anyone heard of only the '96+ models having the 4.38 FD? and that the '93-'95 trans had the same 4.10 as all the others?

[concealer404]

I have not heard of that. To the best of my knowledge, the Probe/MX3 trans have the same ratios.

[DeeAOne]

oh hmm thats what someone on PT told me. well i guess ill just put it in and find out. lol

[MD323]

626 is the only one to get the longer gearing in later years iirc

[The Pile]

mx6 always had the longer final

[concealer404]

mx6 always had the longer final

^what he said.

I've seen this theory passed around and never seen any proof or personal experience on my part to back it up. But I have posted the motor trend and car & driver reviews of the car in the past which state a 4.38 for the 93 pgts.

From all my personal experience all model years have the same gears and the final drives differ as follows.

Probe V6 /MX3 V6 - 4.38
MX6 V6/626 V6 - 4.11

As to the later year V6 626s having different fifth gear ratios I've never confirmed that thru personal experience, but I do everything I can to finish the qtr in 4th so I don't pay much attention to 5th gear any more.

In general, if the vin on the transmission starts with "1Y" you have the 4.11 one. The "JM" is out of MX3s and if I recall the Probes start "1Z"

[DeeAOne]

alright thanks. im probably not going to put in the PGT trans right now, but when this 626 one bites the dust (which we know it will, lol) ill put it in.

anyway, shes almost ready..

[progt91]

oooooooo she lookin purdy

[Mazda_Powered]

That'd look better in my 626

looking good man! I think I'll be asking you for pointers on KLs now lol
