Hey peeps. I was wanting to know for those of you out there breaking differentials, what exactly are you seeing broken. Is it the spider gears, pins, clips.....I am just curious as to what it is that most of you are experiencing. I have the 'older' 02 P5, so I am guessing I have the older weaker...

Thanks guys..I do recall the tranny fluid procedure, but I was wondering of newer methods..I am still in frustration mode...but I appreciate all comments guys. Keep it coming. When I have a little more time, I may see what I can clean by hand...Has anyone any probs with their oil pumps? This is...

Yeah, sludge is def bad...I just figured I would exhaust anyone who may have some answers on how to 'possibly' deal with it. I will probably go ahead and build up the other engine for turbo, but I would like to at least get the car back on the road since my jeep is a totally gas guzzler being I...

My first engine took a dump at 120k miles...not sure why yet, but I believe it spun a crank bearing. I had terrible lifter noise, so I decided to find a used engine so I could possibly keep myself from getting in too deep financially...... I did find one...with 66k miles...I checked it over as...

Hey guys...I know this is an older post, but I just ran into the infamous 'blown motor' also. P5. Thank you for this basic rundown neox.286. I plan on starting on this, and possibly doing a turbo....but until I break this engine down, I am not sure what I am going to do. You guys rock....

Bermankahns...thank you. I guess that is what I am trying to figure out, how much do I want to throw at the car... New car is too expensive...plus, I am kind of sentimental to the P5...won lots of shows back in the day, did lots of trips etc. I am the kind of guy who typically hangs on to a car...

Maybe I should have just said..."What are some options out there..." I want to keep peace in the forum community...I am a lover, not a hater...

Yeah, understand..I have a toast engine...so the swap is what I would like to do, instead of parting out the car...I would rather rebuild with the pride of doing it all (which I have done this with many honda's, jeeps and other rides...so I am not unexperienced, just been out of the mazda loop.)...

I dont have a lot of time...so I have not been able to research the forums...but what are some of my options on getting my ride back on the road. Rebuild w/o turbo Rebuild w/ turbo Mazda 3 2.3l? Any suggestions would be helpful...I am strapped for cash, but at the same time, if I am going to...

Hey Guys and Gals...This post caught my eye, and I would like to say, if I am in town...I am up for meeting. Problem is I am on the road all of the freaking time. I would love to meet and get to know each of you Atlanta Folks. Take care all, and I hope to keep myself a little more intune with...

Oh, and forgive me...One more possibility. If an intakehas been added, and it isnt mounted in a pretty stable position, you can get some rubbing and whistling. Can you 'Locate' the noise? That may have already been asked, but I am tired, and kind of bounced around on this Thread. If it was, I...

Possibly though your ride does not have a roof rack, the tracks where they go can not be pressed in well enough causing whistles. However, the acceleration gig leads me to steer away from roof rack stuff. Its worth checking. Also, Alternator...how about backing up on that one...Belts? Have they...
