there is a million post on this problem, search this forum carefully. You need to replace the transmission because the diff (in the transmission) isn't a part that can be sold by the dealer. Seems like someone found a replacement source on ebay so if you want to repair it you will have to remove...

ABS panic stop won't change anything between 2wd and awd, awd won't engage with that. The awd is useless if you don't have snow. The only time i wish i had awd during summer was when i was on grass with a heavy rain on a slope and i was pulling a tailer, couldn't get it up the hill, that and...

yes if the internal of the transfer case is shot, the transmission may be turning it a little even if the splines are shot. Either at some point the splines are going to be completly shot and you won't hear it anymore or you take it to an indy shop that will take less than 3 hours to remove...

make sure they look into the splines in the transmission to make sure they are not shot or you will be installing the new transfer case for nothing.

no you remove the driveshat and leave the rear diff in place. Take out driveshaft, take out passenger side axel, remove the transfer case, reinstall passenger side axel and you are done.

you could have just taken it out instead and live with it in 2wd...

yes you can convert it to 2wd, i have done it on mine with no problem, take the transfer case out as well as the driveshaft

to know if it's a wheel bearing, at the speed that it does it, turn the steering left and right like if you were doing a ladder with imaginary cones on the road (make sure no one else is around) and if the sound changes depending on the side you are then it means you have a bad wheel bearing

are you sure it is in the CX9 section you wanted to post this? Never heard of that before.

good job, thanks for taking the time to make a video, will certainly help other people.

question has been asked a couple of times and unfortunatly never was answered, not many people have been doing engine swap in those vehicule and seems like info isn't easily available.

man i can't remember but it just pulls out i beleive once you removed all the bolts from what i can remember

yeah thanks, from my research looks like they are all prone to that. The problem isn't so much about the water pump itlsef but the place where it is installed that is the problem.

i am still running without the PTU for now but might have found a way to repair it. If it works i will leave some info for everyone. You could take out the rear diff but my concern was to take out the rear axles since the ABS is using the teethed wheels on the axles to calculate the speed of...

if you don't have snow or too much of it, awd is certainly useless, i feel my truck is perfect during summer time in 2wd. It does suck during winter with all the snow we have in Canada. You have it right, the axle is going through the PTU so if you take it out, you just put back the right axle...

I just discovered that, seems like a shop in Ukraine found a way to repair it and it seems pretty cheap to do. At least much better than buying a new transmission... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lMr9afF608 http://transfer-case.com.ua/shop/avtomobil/mazda/cx-9 sorry, my ukranian suck! :)

I know pretty much every year can have PTU trouble but i am wondering if it is only the 2007 that also have the problem of transmission splines shearing when the PTU goes south. Also, for the water pump trouble, was that only on the 3,7L? didn't recall anyone with the 3.5 (in 2007) having this...

yeah it does, i beleive you have to disconnect some exhaust pieces in order to remove the driveshaft but i am not sure, you will see once you get there.

you are taking about transfer case, just want to make sure you problem really is the rear diff and not the transfer case that is in the middle of the vehicule. you only remove the front portion from what i can remember. there is no special seal, i used "the right stuff" silicone gasket maker...

Yes, may i ask how you repaired or replaced the diff in the transmission, where did you find the part?
