I don’t see a problem with getting used parts. It seems the availability is on the rise. More Kizashi’s hitting junkyards that are dying a more normal death then the transmission failure. As with any collectible car, there does come a time when parts become challenging to get but really, the KIzashi...

thats it

I would recommend first checking for hydrocarbons in the cooling system. You could probably do this just by sniffing the coolant reserve bottle and if there’s a sharp smell to it that almost hurts your nose then you probably have a head gasket not sealing well.

You know the car and have all the resources here in the site of information and preemptive repairs to make this a very trustworthy car. Maybe even keeping a few parts on hand such as an ignition ...

I find it very risky to install a used cvt transmission but I guess that is behind us now. Both of these codes have a great deal to do with a pressure loss.

This will be the cheapest and best,most enjoyable trip I would believe. Sen...
