Hi Folks! I have a 99 Mazda Millenia with a 2.3 engine in it, car has 120k on the clock the whole thing needs a rebuild, tranny proaby gonna need work too. Is it worth keeping?
Do you know where I can get the shop manual? Places to order rebuid kits?

 

Is it worth it? That depends on how much of the work you will do yourself and what is needed. An engine rebuild will take a lot of time but parts should not be too expensive ( rings, bearings, etc ). Do you know the condition of the Lysholm compressor. If that is leaking oil inside and engine smokes then they are pretty much a non-serviceable item as no repair parts are available. The compressor retails from Mazda for around $3200. Trans rebuilds are often beyond the do-it-yourselfer as many special tools are sometimes needed. Check out a rebuild price from a reputable trans shop before starting if you do not plan on rebuilding yourself. Then check out www.kbb.com and see what the going value for your car is.
