someone stole my rear disc conversion.... but other than that tomorrow i am going to look at a protege thats auto. the guy told me that it has transmission problems but it has low mileage. my guess is that it might be something small. what are the common problems for the automatics?

Replaced the driver power window assembly with an aftermarket oem like replacement jobber. Quality was much better than I was expecting for the $70 price point. Driver window rolls up in 4 seconds now, the time it was taking it to roll down previously. and 1/3 the time it was taking to roll up.
Quality of life improved.Last edited by Kitty; 09-17-2013, 03:03 AM.Beater=/= Sleeper

Ball joints are tomorrow, hopefully that goes well. The nut and bolt design holding them to the knuckle seems kinda stupid, don't the 2G Escorts/1G Pros use a threaded bit on the knuckle?
Also it literally JUST dawned on me that I could have bought RX7 jams instead of Escort stuff. Goddammit.sigpic

Was kinda hoping it was threaded on one side so I could cheat to get the thing apart like when I did Mazda 3 struts. I never replace these things, is it simple enough to do with hand tools or what? FWIW they appear to have been replaced before...sigpic

Should need a 17mm socket and 1/2" ratchet, along with a 17mm wrench in case you need it. I think the pinch bolt is 12-14mm and you will need a screwdriver to put on the end of the bolt to drive it out and a small sledge hammer would help if the ball joint stud is sticky.92 Mazda MX3 GS> For sale, $1750 OBO
