for bolt patterns no, not as far as i no

i no that 93-95 is obd1 and 96 and 97 is obd2

Thank you for the reply. But you brought up another question...

One of the local junkyards has a 95 2.0L engine but they say that it won't work in a 96. However, my understanding is that the bolt patterns are the same and such.

You mentioned the fact that 93-95 are OBD1... and 96-97 are OBD2. The junkyard said it would not work due to the crankshaft position sensor...

My understanding is that all of the Probe's have a crank position sensor and that the differences as far as sensors go was that the 93's had two CAMshaft position sensors and one crank sensor, 94's had one CAMshaft position sensor and a crank sensor. 95's .... I'm not sure. I don't understand why the guy said the crank sensor would be different. I could understand the cam sensor situation, but I could use the disty off of the old engine so the ECU would be happy...

Can someone explain to me what difference it would make to use a 95 block (I'd swap all the accessories and sensors) in a 96? I'm somewhat at a loss as to what the actual differences would be.

Worst case scenerio, I have a MegaSquirt flashed with the MSnS firmware -- I suppose I could use that, but I'd like to understand why there's a problem to begin with (especially if I use the disty and other sensors from the old engine)

Thanks!

becasue how the sensor plug into each other is prolly different...it was the same thing with my MAF from my 94 base to my MAF on my 96 SE the sensro was jsut differnet in general they would connect

95 2.0 liter is OBD1...it will work in a 96 the bolt patterns are the same..just some of the sensors will be different..96 has the CKP sensor installed in the oil pump.. i think 95 has the CKP sensor embedded in a module in the distributor..you could use the 95 disty and wire the CKP sensor wires to the correct terminals on the PCM (computer)..96 has (2) O2 sensors, 95 has only one so you would get a check engine lite ..you could weld a bung to the rear of the catalytic converter ..then install an O2 sensor into the bung and wire in the 2nd O2 sensor to the correct terminals at the PCM ..then you will eliminate the check engine lite..you may have to replace the catalytic converter with a new one if they test emissions in your state

You're thinking of the GTs ... 2.0Ls just have the one in the disty, and then added one by the crank sensor in '96.

'93-97 blocks & heads are the same.
'93 IMs are almost the same as '94-95s, but with different castings
'96-97s are the same but minus a vacuum nipple.

TBs, MAFs, etc change with years and tranny types ... if it has a different TB, the junkyard will deem it incompatible even though it can be swapped from the original.

Oilpumps on '96s are slightly different (sensor mounting) ... but revised oilpumps have them, too.

93-97 probe motors, in long block form(assembled motor, minus accs or electronics), are the same. Ive got a 93 atx motor in my 93 mtx, the only thing not used was a sensor on the intake

**Hymen1** · July 21, 2007, 09:02 PM

so i take it that the gt tranny will fit on the 2.0,i think the ze tranny has lsd already built in them,so do i assume correctly?

**unionrdr** · July 22, 2007, 06:18 AM

v6 tranny?

Now THAT'S one I'd like to know,hymen. Anything to get more axccel/top end...

**blowinsmoke95** · July 23, 2007, 02:34 AM

the KL and FS have COMPLETELY diff bolt patterns when it comes to trannys. (also) the GT's do not come with limited-slip.... they still one-wheel wonder like none other....

**Hymen1** · July 23, 2007, 03:33 AM

I thought the ze tranny came with lsd,but i guess im wrong

"EDIT" I was right they do have a lsd built in them

"These are the rarest of all Mazda K series transmissions - The factory option LSD 5 speed short gear manual transmission was only availabe in Japan, and never in North America. This is the ultimate transmission for your KL or KLZE equipped Mazda car"

"This transmission will fit all 1993-1997 Ford Probe GT, Mazda MX-6 or Mazda 626 vehicles. We have tested and guaranteed transmissions available for both manual and automatic transmission equipped cars"1-800-839-4536 for more information

okay sorry on last comment didnt think about the ze trans. but seriously.. have fun findin one of those around here...

**Tasp** · October 24, 2014, 05:15 PM

anyone know if this will fit a 1993 ford probe se 2.0L. sorry but looking for a cheap PCM and figured this 1995 will work.

ack sorry. thought this was for PCM replacements. can't delete post

**94_probe** · April 13, 2016, 08:32 AM

I have a 94 2.0 base probe and I was wanting some information on if I swap a klze motor in it what transmission would I need to get for that
