    TSB for clutch chatter

    Last time I checked NHTSA (a while back) site, their TSB list didn't even look close to the to what we have seen on the FAQ.

    TSB for clutch chatter

    When I called MNAO, the person talking to me could not get that info. But she did know who to contact to get that info, and when they called me back, they said it does not exist. Dealer and MNAO did searches by VIN numbers. I also asked them to do a general search by 3rd generation pros and...

    TSB for clutch chatter

    That was the case for me early on, but now that the car has 34,000 miles, it can pretty much chatter any time warm or cold. Although the car is cold when it chatters the most. I had the same problem with 3 area dealers telling me the TSB doesn't exist. I called Mazda customer service, and...

    End of the debate...

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned speedo error yet. I wouldnt be surprised at all if the the error at that speed is more than 6 or 7 mph, maybe more. Heck, my speedo is off about 2 or 3 mph at at 30 mph indicated (based on the police radar displays that are out on the side of the road). If...

    205/50-16 on stock P5, who installs?

    Just to let you guys know. I went to order some pirelli supersports in the 205 width at a Tires Plus store in town. After they found out they were not stock size, I got the same damn line I was expecting: "we wont install anything other than what the manufacturer of the car recommends, you...

    205/50-16 on stock P5, who installs?

    Hello everyone, Since Ive read on some other posts that 205/50-16 will fit fine on a stock P5 wheel, I think thats what I will go with when it comes time for new tires in short order. Much more selection, and cheaper prices in that size. My question is... Has anyone had any problems getting...

    Brakes Gone Already!!!!

    Wow guys, you guys must be really hard on your brakes! 23,000 miles and brakes all worn out, at least I think that is on the very low end of how long they should last. Especially for the rears which usually last much longer than fronts. Although Im sure that manufacturers are making thin rear...

    MSP Motor mounts

    I have this brace as well on my P5. I think its there just to add lateral stability to the the mount installation, doesnt do anything as far as the rubber softness I would think.

    Clutch Kit??

    You guys are depressing me. I have had this problem almost since the beginning, and I have taken it to the dealer twice. Of course they couldnt replicate. But the worse part of it is that they completely deny that a TSB exists for this issue. They are not the only ones, I called 3 different...
