Crap - the ONE thread which directly addresses my question, and it's 2 years old with no answers. I've got my car torn apart to change the driver's side wheel bearing. Axle is frozen in the hub so I'm trying to remove the half-shaft from the transmission. I cannot figure out how to leverage...

Not to doubt either one of you, but is there a way to tell with certainty whether the P5's engine is interference or not? I'm coming up on 55k so it's something I gotta start thinking about. The link says interference, Mazdaspeeder says not, and I don't know enough about the engine to tell...

I'm going to resurrect this post because it's happening to my 03 P5. My solution is to take a wooden skewer like you'd use for grilling kabobs. Open the little shift bypass cap on the console and insert the skewer until it depresses the switch. Hold it down and mark on the skewer a line where...

Results of Intake Manifold Recall Hi all, new member here. I put my 03 P5 in the shop today to have the intake manifold recall performed. My dealership (Whitten Mazda, Richmond VA) messed up the ordering several times so I had to keep delaying bringing in the car. Now that the work is...
