    Mazda 3i Manual Transmission Broke?

    Sorry, the title should say 6i. Well, last weekend I broke the transmission in my 2.3 five speed. I didn't push the clutch quite far enough while backing up and it felt like something broke, but then I was able to get it into reverse, but that was it. I was unable to shift out of reverse and the...

    HELP! strange engine problem

    I have a problem with my 05 mazda 6i 2.3. Last week my battery light came on one day and the car was a little slow starting. A couple days later I put water in the battery (it was low), got the car started, turned on the AC and something blew. Even with a jump start the car doesn't run right...

    Clutch problem

    Well, I am having some issues with my '05 2.3 mazda6. It drives ok, but in stop and go traffic, if I don't rev it enough when I let out the clutch it shudders and or grinds a little. If I rev it and quickly let out the clutch then it's normal. My car wasn't maintained very well before I...

    Throttle body spacer

    Has anyone here tried a throttle body spacer? I found a little about it on another forum and they seemed to think it was an OK, if minimal performance mod.

    Turn off clutch start sensor?

    I really hate being forced to push my stupid clutch just to start the car. I always leave my car in neutral unless I'm parked on a steep hill ,which don't exist here in San Antonio. Also, I am thinking that having to push the clutch a few thousand extra times a year is going to wear it out...

    Any know about K&N induction kit?

    I saw this on a site from an ad on another forum and it's very affordable, and looks like a standard short intake. Does anyone know why it is called an induction kit? Or why it's cheap? Or what that extra hose in the pic is? K&N 57i Performance Induction Kit p/n 57-0615...

    Busted display

    I bought my 6i about 3 weeks ago. The display was messed up when I bought it apparently, parts of the characters wouldn't show right or at all. A week later or so I did the throttle body ground mod. Now my display screen is blank but the radio still works. Also the lights for my recirc/fresh air...

    Need info on VAD

    I hope I'm using the right term, anyways I have seen bits and pieces of info about this component of the intake system and it sounds like it might be beneficial for performance to remove it, but I would like some more info first before I mess around with it. Any suggestions?

    Anyone have an intake in hot climate?

    I know intakes are probably the most common mod for cars, but I have always heard that hot climates are not suitable for this mod because the air inside the engine compartment will be so hot that you will actually lose power compared to the stock system. Does anyone here have a sport intake in a...

    Weight of stock wheels vs mazda alloys?

    I'm new here, and one of the things I was thinking of doing with my new (used) mazda 6i is changing the steel wheels to mazda alloys. Does anyone know if there is much of a weight difference between the two? The stock ones don't look too terrible to me, but if there is a definite weight...

    Hi I'm a new user of this forum, though I've been on another Mazda one for a few years. I just traded my 04 MPV for an 05 6i and am the coowner of an 07 3 that I never get to drive anymore. Anyways, I will be looking for some pointers on moderate modding that doesn't hurt driveability like...
