As the saying goes, anything is possible, but why do you want to keep that crappy tranny? I have a DX auto and the FIRST thing I would swap out would be the tranny. Here is a link that you might find useful: http://web2.airmail.net/theman/prote...nsmission.html.Comment

Its just that I'm trying to spend as little money as possable, I'm just gettin gthis car to make money. I'm getting it for 50 bux, and I have to get it to my place, so fars its not a running car because of a cracked head. all I want to do is quikly fixer up and sell and make some money, I have the BP thats in my GT that I will be taking out to put another in( mild work done of course
) so i will have a running bp to use that I didnt have to pay any money to get, I just want to make sure I can mate the Bp to the DX slush box, with little effort.

Is the BP from an auto or 5spd???
The auto tranny is the same between a DX and a LX.

BP's and B8's have the same bottom end. I'm sure you can do the math.Comment

No, they're the same between BP and B8.Originally posted by mazdamp5
You will need to get at least a throttle body and ECU from an auto BP. There maybe some other things also, hopefully someone will chime in if I'm missing something.
