    CV axleshaft problem

    My front right passenger CV is messed up. I removed the shaft, then I noticed the intermediate bearing has a lot of play in it. The bearing sits inside the steel plate that (3)bolts to the block. I am pretty certain this is all the rumbling I have been hearing from the drivetrain while moving...

    Not even worth trying to put a speed3 in there. Numerous threads about that swap. Turbo kit is the way to go if speed is your need. What's the engine doing?

    Engine Noise when AC ON??

    The compressor is located all the way at the bottom of your engine on the passenger side. I agree.. you should turn it on, pop the hood and look down there with a flashlight. The pulley may be wobbling a little, or the belt can make a LOT of noise if it's in bad shape. Remember this is a...

    Mazda 3 suspension noise

    The front right (passenger side) motor mount has a tendency to get a little weak over time. I found that to be causing my noise in the front. See if the noise comes when you are at a dead stop, turn the wheel hard and give it gas... especially if you are on a hill.

    5th gear @35mph??

    Actually its a lot different for the number of gears you have. Typically 4 speed autos, 4th is overdrive, which a 3spd wouldn't have. And a 5speed manual is geared differently than a 5speed manual.. Cars with more gears get better mileage, but the number of shifter shouldn't bother you.

    5th gear @35mph??

    Automatic transmissions are equipped with torque converters. They "convert" Hp to Torque at the same rpm. What newer transmissions try to do is lock out the torque converter as quick as possible. by shifting into your final gear around 35-40mph under light throttle. Basically if it is...
