Cx-5 Transmission Swap in Mazda 3 Part 2

Changing the Final Drive on your car is a great way to improve torque to the wheels and acceleration. Unfortunately for FWD cars you either need to crack open the transmission to change the gear on the diff . . . OR Change the complete transmission. That's what we're finishing in this episode, the transmission swap to get the 4.7 final drive in the Mazda 3!!
