if you read it he says needs alot of new parts, does this mx6 have an auto or a manual gearbox cause i blew the diff on mine (89 model, auto) and it's gonna cost me 1700 for a new auto gearbox and to put it in, so if it has all the parts for the manual gearbox or if it has an auto gearbox i might take it off ya hands

need cash asap...

as it states it is an auto with heaps of options ibought it for $4500, it broke down the next day due to intercooler piping leakn etc n a few other little problems ive spent about $5500 on it and sik of it..it was originally for work but now i have a better work car (r32gtst) and i just need the cash...its been sitting for a while ever since it broke down n i bought the r32 straight away and wasnt interested in the mx6 anymore...all it needs is a head gasket to run...$500 if you can do it urself..

Cheers Dan

pms replied to. ....i dont think the head cracked ?it has a blown head gasket thats all i no..nrma just tested it and said the gasket is blown...

still looking to sell it for $1600 or thinkin bout fixing it up then selling it.....

ive got no where to work on the car, it is at my sis house..another reason 4 selling...

Come on guys i thought this would go straight away..good for the home mechanic that can replace the head gasket..

i might get interior pics and convince some people

Cheers Dan

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
