Hi Nick,
I have used http://www.car-part.com as a source to look for used parts. Did your mechanic provide a quote to repair your current manual transmission? You can always use that as a starting point. A 30 day (or more) warranty on a used transmission is always a plus to have, when buying used. Good luck and keep us posted.
I was going to mention car-part.com also.
I don’t know how it is with fords, but on my Jeep you have to be careful because the TCM is locked to the S/N of the transmission. So make sure you do any research to make sure that won’t be the case with your Ford. If you have a mismatch, the TCM will need to be flashed at a dealer or it won’t get out of limp mode. Again, may not be a problem with a manual transmission since they don’t have a whole lot of smarts.
The Jeep’s transmission is used by Nissan (they made it via their Jatco division) and also by Mitsubishi.
Alrighty so heres the update. Last night while driving the car around (yes it still drove till last night) the clutch got real dang spungy and went to the floor. I pumped it a few times got pressure back and then it went out again. So I had it towed to my mechanic cause I deemed it unsafe to drive…. So now it sounds like im looking at way more than just a transmission.
Also has anyone ever heard of sticking a honda transmission in a ford? I know it sounds crazy but I know honda does make a great product and if there is some sort of kit to make it work that would be awesome!
Car-part.com as many have stated however it sounds like you have a clutch hydraulic problem and not necessarily a trans problem, if the clutch doesn’t fully disengage you will have a problem shifting. That said why not have the trans you have repaired instead of replacing it, replacing syncros is not that big of a deal. Lastly don’t try to put a Honda trans in there unless you are a machinist with a lot of time and money on your hands. I would recommend you replace the clutch along with repairing whatever clutch hydraulic problem you have and then seeing if the trans shifts properly.
Well see I cant find any parts for the G5M. The synchros are no longer carried by ford/mazda. However when my mechanic looked at my car he told me that what happened last night was due to a Clutch Master Cylinder/Slave clyinder failer. And noted on the honda deal. Im just worried that if I have to throw another G5M in that car that itll bite me again in another 130k.
Alright so heres the latest update on my ZX2 issues. You all were right the Clutch master and slave both went out at the same time that night. Also about a week ago the transmission finally quit. The third gear synchro exploded and at the time I didnt know it and I went to down shift and sent the scraps of the sychro flying through the trans thus causing a complete trans lock up in second gear from 35 mph. My engine is fine but the the trans is fried. Turns out im having to a put a used one in. And heres the sucky part is that its taking almost 2 weeks to do this.
