I believe the "mazda code" for this car is ZM-DE. My car has an F25M-R transmission. Can F-series and G-series gears be swapped? Where did you find out that the '97 Probe and '94 Protege 1.8 gears are interchangeable? Is there a website you recommend? I have an ‘00 Protege 1.6L with a manual.

I recommend www.car-part.com which allows you to search junkyards in your area for a specific part, then sort by price, mileage, etc. I found a trans for a 1997 Probe for $100.

My 1994 Mazda LX 5 Speed Transmission seems to be just about shot. Could you help me decide about repair or replacement. Thanks Ed Chris, I don’t know a lot about Transmissions.

I will check my transaxle code and see if it is G5M-R. Thanks for the info Chris. I will check my transaxle code and see if it is G5M-R.

I don't have service manuals for the second-generation (1995+) cars, but I believe they kept using the same transmissions for a while. The B6, B8, and BP engines each use different trans configurations. If your transaxle code is G5M-R, the mod will work. If your 1995 LX is a DOHC, it should.

I have one and this would be a great mod if the probe gear would work with the 95. Thanks. I am averaging 47 mpg combined in the protege for the last 90 days.

Check your engine RPM at some highway speed to be sure, but I expect you are under 3000rpm (2800?) at 70mph. The auto should be superior for highway driving.
