The standard transmission in the twins sucks...

It sucks because I broke my right hand at work yesterday and now I can't drive the car.

If you'd like to borrow my fancy 2006 Mazda 3 with a horrible four speed automatic, you're more than welcome to it. I just did this swap with a friend with a MazdaSpeed3 who had hip surgery. I won't lie, I would have the massively better end of this swap!

Ya that you would. My dad has already offered his '12 Mazda3 for a trade for a while.

These transmissions create no vacuum. Only internal harmonic pulses. So it can not suck.
