I've a 2002 Protege5 with a badly rusted screw through the shifter rod and shifter. To install new shifter bushings, I anticipate having to cut the rod out of the car, so I need to buy a replacement prior to starting the work. My location is cincinnati, ohio area, 45015 zip code. Sean

My shifter is getting really sloppy. I have a Corksport set of linkage bushings, but the screw that attaches the shifter to the linkage rod is so rusted that I'm fully anticipating having to cut it off and possibly cut the shifter rod to extract everything. Other than probably having to get a...

I can't believe I'm having to ask this, but which fuse is the one for the rear wiper? The diagram on the fuse box cover has lots of titles like "head hi", but nothing indicating which fuse might be the rear wiper. I tried searches for fuse box diagram and didnt' come up with anything that...

I tried searching for this, and didn't find anything. I have a hum that's noticeable from 30mph up through highway speeds. At 30mph it will go away if I turn suddenly left; I'm not trying this at highway speed <g>. and The noise is on the right side, but not distinctly at the wheel. I...

I've got a weird suspension rattle that maybe someone can diagnose. Occurs only when turning left and the suspension lifts on the left side. Sounds like it's a lower area: The control arm and tie rod end are almost new, and show no looseness that I can find, including when I jacked up the car...

Hi All, My clutch shudders, more when it's hot outside, and the release bearing is squeaking, so I know there's a clutch replacment in my future. I wanted a limited slip, and I was able to pick up a Mazdaspeed Protege transmission. So here's my first question: Which seals do I need for the...

I'm looking for some advice and instructions for replacing the front and rear motor mounts on my '02 P5. The factory manual gives the order for removing the mounts, but no real instructions. I searched the DIY forum and found plenty on using stiffer mounts, and filling mounts, but nothing on...

When I removed my splash covers to do a timing belt change, ALL the bolts broke [How I love living in the salt zone]. Anyways, in the manual on page 3N10 it shows the splash covers and the screws, with the screws being item number 90720-0616 in the diagram. There is no corresponding part...

I have a protege5 where I'm having enough trouble getting off the crank bolt that I want to use the SST to hold the crank pulley. Problem is, the tool is $100 from Mazda and several weeks. If you have this tool, and would be willing to sell, or if you have a homemade equivalent, please let...

Due to some circumstances (bad motor mounts, weak clutch, rust) the normal methods of loosening the crank pulley aren't working. I need to get the SST tool to hold the crankshaft pulley on my P5 while undoing the crankshaft pulley bolt. However, I can't find a place to get the tool. The...

I'm in the middlee of a timing belt change, and I'm at the point of getting off the crankshaft pulley screw. I'm next going to try a large air wrench next, as mine didn't touch it. I have to wonder if there isn't some tool for holding the pulley fixed while getting it loose. I'm really...

I've a crack in one of my wheels. I need a replacement. Doesn't have to be pretty, but should not have major rim rash. My zip is 45015. thanks, Sean

I need a single stock wheel for my '02 P5. 16" It doesn't need to be perfect; my other three aren't. I'm just replacing a cracked wheel. nlinesk8s@yahoo.com Hamilton, OH 45015 thanks, Sean

I'm trying to find the correct caliper pins/bolts for my '02 P5. Autozone didn't seem to have the correct parts (but their database doesn't admit the existence of the P5 anyways). I looked in the parts listing, and came up with these: GA5R-33- 684 dustcap GA5R-33-998 lower pin The pin which...

Just wondering. I've never had cruise or a horn in my car since I got it last year. I'd like to have both. Based on looking through the forum posts, plus the fact that I could at one time beep my horn continuously by turning on the cruise switch, I think I've a bad "clock spring" contact...

I'm replacing the rear struts on my '02 P5. The car is from upstate New York, and everything is rusted. The strut-to-hub bolt threads are in pretty sorry shape, and I'd like to replace them quickly. Does anyone know the bolt length and thread? I think it should be something like M12, 1.25 or...

I've worn out inner edges of both front tires, typical of balljoints worn out. I've pulled the old control arms off, so I'm wondering what to buy new. The major parts website has Mevotech, Beck Arnley, and OES. The first two are about $110 each, the OES is $225. What makes the OES a $100...

The bottom cover on my '02 P5 is missing on one side and damaged on the other. Will the covers from any protege fit? Which years? thanks in advance for any help

My rear brake disks and calipers were sufficiently ugly that I replaced both of them on both sides. (bought the car about six months ago from New York). A lot of pb blaster and anti-seize, and I broke the cable bracket screw on one side and had to cut the head off with a dremel tool on the...

The hatch stuts have given up on my Protege5. No luck finding these at Autozone/Pep boys/etc. Does anyone have information on these, like part numbers? I'd really prefer not to go to the dealer, and I'd much rather go to a vendor with part numbers and buy direct. thanks,
