Probably never... Just go buy a new Prius and throw some zoom-zoom stickers on it. -Mazda5 owner.

This is a SOLID tip, the Motocraft 400 is also almost 1" taller, and is the same price as the 910 which is currently $10 at Oreilly's. Not as cheap as the generic Motocraft, which is now $7. Stupid inflation. But hey, at least it's still a ridiculously easy oil change!

uhhh, that's a sign engine mount/tranny mounts are worn.

I just searched that. nav part no, and the only 3 units that show up are located in Russia... Man, you have a UNICORN! Sell it to me?

cause legally 16/17 were not imported into US, and you might have problem clearing customs/registering VIN. I thought about this a LOT, and if there's a way to get a '17 Canuk car into US, I'd love to hear it. lol, what about just a Vancouver car. I mean, it barely snows?

confirmed with fb OP he did not lengthen the tcm harness at all... there are a couple of variations on the bracket. I also like this rendition: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10220256629557976&set=pcb.764047690996807 Anywho, this is all on my "winter" to-do list. Our car is perfect rn...

Totally! The new ody/siennas are each 2 feet longer than the mz5.

even for 12+ ? (edit: just read upfix.com site and ... gosh, I guess they never did insulate/move the TCM during revisions.) I never felt like the TCM relocate to the firewall was a "good" solution, I like what this gent did here, with the brackets...

my bad, selective reading comprehension on my part. I'm about to do the tranny mount myself and should've known better.

sell the mz5 and buy a new odyssey. Instant 130hp increase.

^ the guy above you bumped a 13YO thread and you're going to ask again if a bar between the strut towers does anything? :ROFLMAO: the sound of silence for 13 years seems to be a pretty clear answer. the name brands mentioned here are also all out of biz...

Here's a link to Mazda dealership showing correct "part #" to the Mazda ATF Type M-V that's meant for our auto trannys: Mazda Automatic Transmission Fluid [ATF M-V (Type M5)] From that you can conclude idemitsu type M is correct, whereas MaxLife is not "quite" right...

^ i'm SO confused. why'd you disconnect the battery to do completely non-electrical items? Just then to somehow foul the plugs. I did the rear motor mount/cabin air filter combo couple of months back and def did not disconnect the battery cable.

you were stuck in between rock and a hard place (with no rubber mount in between, pun intended) That's the problem with order parts from e-tailers when you have a daily driver. I opted to order a tranny mount from autozone (with coupons, ofc) instead of going the rockauto route cause readily...
