You really cant go wrong with Katzkin covers. I installed a set on my old Mazda 626 a few years ago, and they were vastly BETTER then the OEM stock leather. Im talking a better material, and it was all triple stitched!

2010 Engine Cover Mod - Finally completed
MonoxideChild replied to Linc's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I think it looks outstanding! Cant wait to see a pic with it installed. -
Where in the Great lakes area are you? I still have my original 5 speed with zero issues. Original owner, and was removed with only 63k miles on it. Hadnt really thought of selling it, But if your somewhat local, and i can help you out. I might be willing.
-
Its harder then your average trans as you have to drop the engine cradle also. Which is another step over you basic older Honda trans job. But its still do-able in the garage on jack stands. Ive done 3 so far. Including my 6 speed swap, and a 3.0 v6 one. Which really both are equally as bad.

Trans wont care if its ABS/Non ABS. Just get one from a 2.3 and you will be good to go. Hell, you could even use this as a good time to swap it for the newer 2.5 6 speed. Everything is a direct swap. Only other parts you need is the matching 6 speed shifter cable, and the 6 speed shifter assembly. I did the swap on my 2.3 awhile back.

Turbo for 2.5 i4 Fusion available now?
MonoxideChild replied to JayGee's topic in Accessories & Modifications
The equipment pictured most defenitly would not fit. The turbo manifold is way off. If they cant even show a picture of the actual product, what makes you think they would work? You say you dont trust Ebay. But at least some ebay kits show parts that will at least bolt up. Id stay away from this kit. Far far away. There are full kits out there that exist. I myself have a Greddy 2.3 turbo kit i imported from Japan. Which would fit the 2.5's just the same. Intake is different. but the Throttle body is still in the same basic location, so the intercooler piping for a 2.3 would fit up just the same. -
Soaked carpets on front passenger floor (08 Fusion)
MonoxideChild replied to Frank Wines's topic in 2006-2009 Ford Fusion
Agreed. but take it from a tech, the vast majority of people cant distinguish between the two when its soaked in your carpet. -

MonoxideChild replied to Frank Wines's topic in 2006-2009 Ford Fusion
Its either going to be the sunroof drain you already mentioned. Or your heater core is leaking. Its going to be one of the two. Only way to know is to get in there and do a visual check. -
2007 2.3 grenaded! Nice pics of rod thru block! Working issues..
MonoxideChild replied to 63jmk's topic in 2.3L/2.5L
A local Mazda6 owner named Dean has a 2.3 6 with over 280K on it. Original motor, and even the original ATX trans. And his most definitely WAS NOT taken care of previously. Going by the condition of the body at least. -

No motors have a mileage limit. It all depends on maintenance, upkeep, and really just luck. -

Impressive pics! Sorry for your luck, but thanks for sharing! -
Id rock them. Shouldnt really be any issue, and that tire size is a better size for a dedicated winter tire anyways.

Welcome to the forum. Always nice to see more locals!

No one has done the 2.5 swap yet. But we have been swapping the 2.5 v6 into the older mazdas that had the smaller 1.8 v6 in them, and everything bolts right in. All the differences are internal, But externally everything bolts right up. How do we know the same thing cant be said about the 2.5 Duratec? We know its just a stroked version of the 2.0/2.3 so it should bolt right in. Im just saying this because its always easiest to just say something wont work. But ive heard this many times, only to find out stuff can swapp really easily. Just no one with the knowledge has actually tried.
