I have a 2000 Mazda B3000 and I'm trying to take out my transmission to replace the clutch. I have the 3.0 V6 with manual transmission. I see that the exhaust wraps around it and I was wondering if anybody knows from experience if this exhaust has to be removed to remove the transmission. If all possible id like to avoid removing the transmission. if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts please let me know!!!!

 

A 2000 Mazda B3000 is really a made-in-USA re-badged Ford Ranger 3000. I would think you would get better advice on your truck to post on some Ford Ranger sites. These trucks had 3 different engine choices so the three models will be different.

Yeah I know it's the same as the ford ranger but I know there are small differences between the two, the videos that you've sent are videos I've watched and you can tell in both of them that there is no exhaust hanging down where it is on the B3K, just wanted to make sure that the 3.0 V6 on the Mazda and the 3.0 V6 on the Ranger the exhaust paths arent different and that would be why I cant find any videos about it.
