hmm. I don't remember. I didn't do it myself. I watched my mechanic do it. No bolt.. that's for sure. He put it in in 2 seconds. Perhaps it was a rivet.. Sorry.. bad memory. A rivet would be just fine for sure.

Mine did the same thing. I bent it to allow the short shifter spacing and put in a new screw just next to the original one and drilled out the old one. Good luck.

My mileage dropped before the rough idle was obvious. Not sure if there's a way to check the EGR valve before its completely shot. Anyone? A drop of 100km per tank of gas is significant. Something is definitely up. I tried transmission fluid, oil changes, tires with no success(these changes we...

So it was the EGR valve. It was causing a "serious vacuum leak". Good call TheMan. Too bad they couldn't tell this in the summer. I'll keep an eye out now to see if my mileage has gone by up to the usual 550. Thanks for all the info everyone.

Wonder if my garage checked for leaks. I'll ask them tomorrow. Seeing as how they checked if the timing belt slipped, I'm guessing they did. I'm pretty sure its not the EGR valve. I had that go on me while under warranty. I know how the cars acts with the EGR valve stuck. This is different...

They couldn't figure it out last time, but this time the check engine light is on and the error code means Random/Multiple misfire. So hopefully they can figure it out now. I've got my fingers crossed. Good to know the OEM plugs are also NGK. Thanks

Ya I'm in Ottawa. The dealer i'm dealing with is Carling Mazda. I've personally boycotted Bank Street Mazda after my lease buyout fiasco. That's a whole other story. :) I have had the coils replaced and the plugs and the wires. Does that cover everything you are referring to, or is there...

Don't remember the exact part number but both sets of plugs I tried were NGK. Nothing like V-power though. Just letters and numbers. Could a new set of wires be the cause? All plugs, coils and wires are new. What are the odds the new wires are bad? Plugs and coils are maybe 2 weeks old. Wires...

Hey all, Dumb question I know. Here's the gist. This past summer my Pro5 was idling very rough and achieving a miserable 450Km per tank instead of my usual 550. I had the plugs and wires replaced ahead of schedule. It was the best my garage could figure that was wrong. This garage is owned by...

Thanks for all the info. Wish I would have heard all this before I bought the TWM. So TWM for looks. B&M and if you put function over form.

So its confirmed. TWM it is! hehe. Just kidding. The last thing I want is to make the shifts too stiff. Anybody else want to second TheMAN's thoughts?

Even swapping it isn't written in stone. Can you try to explain what you mean? I know its tough to explain feel, but please do. I'm a bright guy. ;)

Hey all, I have a B&M short shifter in my pro5 now. I just bought a TWM one. Came to put it in and for the life of me can't remove the B&M one. Clip removed, unbolted from underneath, I just can't pull it out. That big blue aluminum piece won't come out. Has anybody pulled out this shifter...

Did mazdastuff.com stop selling these? I can't seem to the find the wiper stalk on their site.

I haven't. But I have a gps antenna connected to my carpc. Was thinking of buying one of those fake ones off ebay and putting my antenna inside it. Haven't done it yet, cause I don't really know how to run the wire for it. Also, it proly would look funny on my P5.

You mean the TWM has shorter throws, but the kartboy shifter is shorter than the TWM?

Thanks guys. I'm still under warranty. I'll try again.

I contacted my dealer about the clutch chatter TSB outlined here. They told me it only applies to cars with less than 60,000 KM on them. I don't see anything mentioned at that link? Can anyone confirm/deny this please? Is there a standard cutoff for all TSBs? Thanks, Kareem
