NOT COMPATIBLE. Our transmission is a 3 shaft. The new transmissions are 4 shaft. Completely different design internally.

A lot of it is how you drive, be easy on the gas pedal, drive 55 mph in the slow lane if you can, putting the car in neutral when going downhill, etc. When I lived in NJ and commuted everyday, I practiced "hypermiling" in my old car, '06 Mazda 3 5MT, I was averaging 50 - 55 mpg.
Now that I drive <700 miles a month mpg doesn't matter as much. My car has been doing about 30 -32 since I seafoamed her though.

So youre better off just letting off the gas and keeping it in gear.

It must be doing something as there is a 10mpg difference if I don't.
The point of me putting it in neutral is I can go further while I'm coasting instead of the car engine braking and slowing it down.
