I’m about to change the engine in my '03 Mazda 6 due to what is apparently a slipped timing chain which has, in turn, probably caused valve damage. The new engine has a perfectly good 5 speed transmission with it and since I prefer to drive a manual drive car I’d like to change that too. Any obvious…

I would think a bit more research and info might be needed. The doner engine has the manual trans attached to it. I can’t see the sense in manufacturing different body styles based on trans, so it would be a parts swap including linkage and pedals and shifter, plus if you get the whole engine setup …

Ah man. Got me again. 2010 this time.

I think some of us (not me) might still be a little irritable from getting used to the new system so there isn’t much tolerance left. I dunno. People seem to be a little more irritable than usual. Maybe its the atmospheric pressure or something-it does have an effect.

Perhaps the forum software would allow topics that have been inactive for a certain length of time to be flagged in some way to alert users of the petrification thereof.

Just close old threads to further posting.

One of the benefits Car Talk Community provides to those with car problems they need help with is the ability to search for threads containing a particular topic, so to see how others have handled the same situation in the past. Removing all the threads older than 6 months would be deleting a lot of potentially helpful information.
