I'm sure someone has touched on this at some point but I did a little browsing and didn't find anything.

I am wondering if anyone local has done a Gen1 MS3 6speed swap, into a MZ3?

Yeah, a friend of mine. His buddy bought a mz3 and did the speed swap. It was a bit tricky but he got it done. I believe there were a few bugs he had to sort out. He currently is apart of the Canadian army and I believe he's out in western Canada.

Here the link to his ride thread. He hasn't been active on the forums as of late but here's info on his swap.http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?70588-2008-speed3-sedan&highlight=yarnbah

I think he just wants a 6 speed transmission. I don't think they'll match up

It may match up to a N/A 2.3L Gen1... but that's a huge maybe

I have a MS3 that i'm parting out, just wanted to know if its something that would be more of demand sold as a swap package or split up really.

I had found a write up "how to" off another forum and it seems no more difficult labour wise than a tranny job would be given all the parts were together.
