seems like a relay is not doing it's job or it might be the starter. First time i read about this.

you can always ask your mechanic to try to do the same thing, with the picture he might be able to do it.

do you have any details on how they replaced the spline hub? It is part of the differential which is a non servicable part from mazda. You can't even buy the part by itself.

no clue, i was looking for the same info on the transmission and no luck, this is not an engine that gets swapped a lot so trial and error is unfortunatly the only way to go but since we never hear about this...

You mean if you put back the PTU? it could but i suppose something is going to give in real quick, I still sugget you don't put it back in, will cost less in reassembly time and the car will be 100lbs lighter without the PTU and the driveshat.

honestly my fear is that the splines of the passenger side driveshaft do the same thing in the transmission, we can see i think on your pic that the inner splines for the passenger side are starting to weakens, at least, they looked like they did on mine.

WRONG, i currently converted my awd to fwd without putting back the PTU because i have the exact same problem as yours, splines shot in the transmission. i am now running it in FWD as it is not worth putting money into it. I can tell you fwd sucks in the snow with such a heavy vehicule but i can...

i don't know, if the engine doesn't start, the ecu won't have the time to go through the system to see the lean condition, unless there is a fuel pressure sensor, i doubt the ecu has a way to tell.

that's what makes me think fuel, doubt it's fuel level though, i would guess fuel pressure. I had a different car that was doing this and ended up being a broken nipple on the fuel pump. Enough to start it but not enough to keep it running.

might be a dumb question but sounds like you are out fuel? Never checked how it is made but try to see if you can hook up a fuel pressure gauge on the feed line.

no don't have to do anything, it is not sealed between the TC and the transmission, there si a seal for the axle on the right side which should be good. You also need to take out the driveshaft which may require a little work on the exhaust for one of the bolt.

nope there is no way, you really have to take out the trasnfer case but you can put the car back together without the transfer case if you find out the transmission splines to be bad, take much less time and saves a lot of weight on the car.

yeah it is kind of unclear, damn, not an easy one.

anyone knows if the transmission on the 3.5 in 2007 is the same or not to the 2008+ with the 3.7? Basically, can i put a 3.7 transmission to my 3.5? thanks

hey i am sorry i am this late but in case you are still looking for an answer, here is a thread i made with this exact problem https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123837496-rear-diff-problem-solved&highlight=

Like many here, i was a victim of the PTU failure, mine still turns by hand but the gearing between the transmission and the PTU was chewed up completly. I know some folks were able to get their transmission changed under warranty but i am way out of it, anyone found a solution to fix the...

the little piece you see he is hooking to the splines of the axle is usually inside the diff and this is where it hooks up

Wait, i am not sure but i beleive Vlad said those pictures were from the right axle and he was running in 2wd so it has nothing ot do with the transfer case. From what i read, maybe he can give us some more details butfrom what i understand his transfer was screwed and he run the car like that...

What? Are the splines in the transmission made of marshmallows or something? That sucks!
