Hi guys. I'm planning on swapping the FiST 1.6 and 6 spd into my mazda 2. It shares a chassis which makes it almost like st swapping a non turbo fiesta. I'm hoping it'll be simple enough besides electronics.. We share just about the same engine and tranny mounts anyways.
the idea of having to configure something for the reverse lock out mechanism is throwing me through a loop rn.. or maybe since i dont have any obstructions in my shifter it'd just be a far left reverse gear? in a 5 spd the reverse at the bottom right is just convenient. at any rate, I'm in over my head.
...anyone care to drop hints before I run into the issues blindly?
Also, I'm in Massachusetts. If anybody has tuners that can program standalone systems or anyone who can help make the endeavor successful, your help would be much appreciated.
