It wasn't really the cars fault, it was the previous owner more than anything. He sold me a car which was hanging on by a thread and I didn't do a lot of research about MSP's to know what to look for when I bought it. The LSD was broken and re-welded, etc. Anyways, anyone who is reading this be...

I did not notice anything when I posted them, but I added the tag. Thanks. I believe I am just going to part this car out, knowing what I know now. I need a more reliable DD than my MSP, and I am pretty sure ill get more money from parts than I can from actually fixing it and selling it, if you...

Found more damage. Directly under 1st gear, the bearing was all chewed up on top, and the housing was also chewed up. See these 2 pics http://imgur.com/tp0B2zM,N2zQhiB So I wonder if that was my grind.. some ads may be NSFW

Dead in the water for today. I cant get the lock nuts off for the life of me..I must have put them on good last time. My dad is dropping me off his impact tomorrow, Ill post pics then. Side note: when I spin the nuts you can hear a audible squeal, presumably the bearings. However, I cannot hear...

Well, I decided **** it and pulled the tranny tonight. I ran out of kerosene and I live in michigan and didnt want to ruin my burton jacket so I froze my ass off all night. Nor did I have my dads lights I normally use, and I couldnt seem to find half my tools, so it really really really sucked...

Yeah thats what I am thinking. Does it sound to you like it is possible that the little L shaped channel (I call it the reverse lockout- but I guess I am not sure if thats what it is or not) is broken in there. I guess my idea is that somehow it is rubbing against 3-4 (which is the grind) and...

Ok, so I replaced my LSD about 9 months ago. And the other when I was driving home from snowboarding, my car slipped out of 5th gear like 4 or 5 times on the way home. I figured the car was low on fluid or something and that I could fix it when I got home, except all of a sudden it wouldnt go...

My car seems to really not like 5 psi when building boost, it will build just fine untill about 3500 rpm (5psi usually is where it hangs up) if you mash gas while cruising, and the boost gauge will bounce up and down rapidly around the 5psi mark. at that point it builds through the revs really...

Do you have a BOV? mine started acting similarly once I went dual valve. I still get a bit of turkey even with dual valve so i think my stock BPV is bad, so, I am going to get a Forge BPV..but yeah. If you are blowing off too much boost and holding the clutch and it dies or comes close, check...

oK. i finished my LSD/Clutch/flywheel job and I have a small (maybe huge) problem. What are those really long golden like 10-12mm bolts that goes straight up into the bottom of the engine where the tranny and engine meet for? only the end like 1/2" of them are threaded. I broke one off in...

yep, i just did the opposite. block of wood on the other side

For anyone who is interested, this is how it ended up doing it and it was quite easy. I cut a 2x4 so that when the dowels that line up with the pressure plate was at the 9:00 position it was between the board and the floor tightly. held strong while i broke the bolts. although if you are reusing...

So, I am currently replacing the clutch/flywheel/LSD on my car and ive had the tranny off for a couple weeks now and its been sitting around waiting on parts. I finally got everything today and decided to go pull the flywheel, but I cant for the life of me stop it from spinning. Is this...

I had the same problem. it turned out to be that alarm disable button under the dash. I was sure it was a bad starter solenoid, but once the new starter was in it was the same deal. pressed one little button under the dash, and she started right up. (edit: unless of course the MP3 doesnt have...

OMG thank you so much. I found it. car started right up like a champ. all that trouble and the whole time it was probably that little button. I tell you one thing changing the starter on this car was an order of magnitude harder than any other starter on any other car ive ever done in my life. I...

I am having issues with my car not starting. i will hear a click from the dash area, and thats it. i had this problem like 3 months ago and then i just kept turning the key and finally the car started fine for awhile and now nothing. So anyways I assumed it was the starter but apparently it...

thanks. it looked like it had one of those crush gaskets in there when i looked at it. and i notice a few of the bolts on my tranny are alot cleaner and less rusty then others which implies to me that someone was in there at one point or another. probably didnt seal it well. thanks for the input!

http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123803214-BPT-engine-in-Mazdaspeed-Protege go to this post, and it is the seal that is on the last section of housing, on the bottom right corner of the image. thats the one. thanks again for any info btw i know its a different engine and tranny...
