Sounds like your tranny is dying.. I guess... I mean your description isn't great.. but from what you are saying, you are unable to shift into certain gears... which is typically syncros. Rebuilding it yourself is going to be REAL hard since you need special tools, but if you can manage, you can get the parts from mazda for relatively cheap. Its the tools/labor thats hard.

It would be easier to find a lower-mileage working one locally and pick it up, swap it in.

 

ya i can get the tools and i have some one experienced to do it with i was just wondering how much it would cost??? is it more cost effective to put diff one in or just rebuild wat costs less

 

Rebuilding it will cost 300-400 dollars in parts. Used ones go from 50-250 dollars for good ones.

 

its a toss up because if you can get it rebuilt properly it would be worth the money because you know its good. buy a used one and its kind of taking a risk... look around junkyards, forum for super cheap ones
