    Mazdaspeed6 Clutch Fix TSB

    Well I guess I'm lucky, I took my Speed6 (my wifes actually) into the dealership and told them about the rough and high clutch take up and frequent stalls, I didn't mention the tsb. The service manager looked up my car, told me about the tsb and ordered the parts. No fuss, no arguing, he just...

    Green key, no start only happens sometimes

    Found my own answer, yep there is a small safety switch as I thought. If it is worn, sticky or malfunctioning it will make starting hard. I used some spray on cleaner for electronics now it starts every time.

    08 WRX or 07 Mazda Speed 6

    MS 6 clutch does it have a safety switch?

    I think my odd starting problems stem from a sticky switch near the clutch that needs the clutch pressed in order to start the car. I need to pump the clutch sometimes to get the car to start.

    Green key, no start only happens sometimes

    Nothing else is near the electronic key card, its the one that looks like a credit card and my wife keeps it in her purse in its own pocket, I keep mine in my pocket that I dont put my cell phone in.

    Green key, no start only happens sometimes

    Well I'm new here but enjoying the board and have come across another odd lil thing. Sometimes when I get in the car (06 MS6) with advanced key, it wont start even though I get the green key icon on the dash then 3 or 4 try's later at turning the knob (no key needed remember) it will start like...
