Vehicle Fitment

This transmission serves as a direct replacement for the following North American models:

  • Mazda 3 (s, Touring, Grand Touring): 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

  • Chassis Code: BK

  • Compatibility Note: Specifically for the 2.3L Naturally Aspirated engine. It is not compatible with the 2.0L (which uses a 4-speed in early years) or the Mazdaspeed 3 Turbo models.

JDM to USDM Installation & Technical Guide

To ensure 100% OBDII compliance and prevent the “AT” warning light from illuminating, professional Mazda technicians recommend these critical steps:

  • Solenoid & Sensor Transfer: You must transfer your original USDM Transmission Wiring Harness and Solenoids to the JDM unit. While the internal gears are identical, the electrical plugs on JDM units can vary; using your original electronics ensures the TCM (Transmission Control Module) communicates without error.

  • Range Switch: Reuse your original USDM Neutral Safety Switch (Range Sensor). This ensures your dashboard gear indicator and starting circuit function perfectly.

  • Oil Cooler Flush: It is mandatory to flush the transmission cooler inside the radiator. If your old transmission failed due to burnt clutches, metal debris trapped in the cooler will destroy your “new” JDM transmission within miles.

  • Fluid Requirements: Use only Mazda M-V (M5) ATF or an equivalent high-quality fluid specifically meeting FNR5 specifications. Do not use Mercon V unless the bottle explicitly states it is compatible with Mazda M-V; they are not the same fluid and using the wrong one will cause harsh shifting.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

  • Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
  • Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
  • Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
  • Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
