    P5 Auto Trans Fluid & Filter Change

    Just want to post my experience changing ATF & filter at 108,000 miles. Pretty easy to service. The plastic cover underneath engine can be easily remove by removing 5 bolts. The drain plug is NOT left hand thread, it is right hand. I used a putty knife to completely break the silicone gasket...

    Crazy Belt

    OEM Belts I posted in the wrong forum the first time and got a reply there too. Rogue's response makes sense, he said to use OEM belts. I thought of this yesterday and called Oak Tree Mazda for price of $36. So I figured I'd try the Goodyear first as it is only $15. But sometimes you get what...

    Crazy Belt

    Ive searched and found the few threads about belt squealing but still cant figure this out. I replaced the serpentine twice (it really doesnt seem like a serpentine given it rides three pulleys on outside diameters) and still I get squealing under load (AC on, in gear, and low revs). First...

    POLL: If you guys had a AUTO Tranny Car (mp5) would you fix it up?

    Yes I have a new used 2002 auto, I'd prefer the auto/manual BUT I have rented the 6 with the a/m and to be honest it was okay. I'd only want it for driving in the hills to be honet. Given the need to juggle a cell phone, a cup of jo and stop and go traffic, auto is so much easier. Sure manual...
