    Clutch Master cylinder leaking

    After reading over the directions again. It says to install a new starter interlock switch, and new clutch pedal position switch. Not sure why I can't reuse the other parts. Can anyone verify if this has to be done?

    My new work car. 1989 MX-6 80,000 miles

    Another update of my mx-6 Turns out the cv joint boots are not torn so don't have to worry about it. So I am just about done with this car. Its now a reliable daily driver. Here is what I did 1. Alternator. Mazda does not sell it anymore. So went to rock auto and got a denso. Which is...

    Clutch Master cylinder leaking

    I think you are right. Not sure why Mazda would make such a cheap part that is a lot of work to replace. They used to make them like brake master cylinders. Now just a plastic piece, no wonder is bad already. Oh well, hopefully the dealer will have one and I can have a busy Sunday.

    Clutch Master cylinder leaking

    Anyone replace one of these yet? Seems really early at 75,000 miles. I was reading the service Manuel that I downloaded from this site. The clutch pedal assembly has to be removed with the master cylinder as a single unit. Then I can replace the master cylinder. Ok a lot of work but I can...

    Found a unicorn?

    Nice car. Always liked the 626 hatch. I drove a 90 626 sedan DX for about 25 years, and now very happy to have my 89 MX-6. It was very reliable. Those wheels look like its from a 4 wheel steering 626.

    New to the Mazda CX-5 family

    How many years and miles does this warranty give you, and will it provide you with anything for a creak, croak, or groan? I think not. I've had my 2013 for 4 years and now has about 70,000 miles. Only needed to replace the brake light switch. Cost me $20. Handling is tight, I see no need for...

    M/T Failing? Don't know how to determine . . .

    1. I would suspect the timing being off, since it sounds like everything was fine before the timing belt slipped. I have heard of cam being 180 degrees off, but never experienced it since I always had my timing lined up before a timing belt change. 2. If it has a distributor, check the routing...

    My new work car. 1989 MX-6 80,000 miles

    I am still putting things back together, but finally pulled the dash and cleaned the duct work. The main clog (from the mouse nest debris) was at the A/C evaporator coil. Now all clean. The fan blows strong now and heat and A/C (r12) still work.

    Why do my traction and tpms lights come on at the same time?

    I resolved my issue. I bought a brake light switch from on online Mazda discount dealer for about $20. Fairly easy to replace. Pretty much just plugs in at the brake pedal. So far that has been my only issue in 4 years and 60,000 miles. Also, brake lights worked as they should with the old...

    CX-5 Water Pump Stretch Belt Replacement

    I was looking at the loan a tool program from O'reilly auto parts. Seems there is a tool that might help. One Tool says remove the other says install. I don't know how or if it will work. Stretch Belt...

    imo. basically just the price. But my replacement Mazda pads for the CX-5 came with grease for for the pads and pins. I don't remember the Value pads including this for my 626.

    Mazda OEM vs Value brake padsa

    The Mazda value pads should be good. I used to buy the value line for my old 626. I put a lot of miles on it, and kept it for about 25 years. Before I discovered there was a difference between aftermarket and Mazda dealer parts, I used to buy pads from auto parts stores. I would always end up...
