My name is Todd Smith and I am looking at a 2000 Madza Protege ES that is on my mechanic's lot sitting as he works on my project truck, 1997 F-150 2WD w a 3.9L Cummins 4BT I4 diesel. The Madza has transmission issues and I want to research the correct parts for daily driver longevity.
I like cars but I don't have the manual dexterity to do much wrenching. I have always like Madza's efforts to use different technology like Wankel and Miller cycle engines, but I have never owned one. My beater Toyota is at 247K and is failing and this Protege looks clean but was a smoker's car and has transmission issues.
Any thing else that the community needs to know, feel free to ask!
