Find out if it's a new one or old one.

I didn't know mazda did a tiptronic box, they definitely didn't in the early cars so if it's tiptronic, it's probably a later engine (which would explain it being clean)

Get a picture and I'll tell you if it's old or new.

by the looks of it its out of an x5 or something similar, as it looks like the gearbox has differential or summit for 4 wheel drive
