Another Tranny Failure

[perfworks]

ibought mine from maple too
the sales department is the s*** BUT the service dept is the worst ive ever seen
i had the same problem 3 -4 shift fork and and 3rd gear shattered, clutch and pressure plate
all because i was pissed a cop gave me a ticket so i was driving like an ass
the biggist problem though is that our system DOES NOT use cables like honda to engage
we use STEEL linkages with very tight clearances
the fork happens to be the weak link in the chain that breaks because nothing is absorbing the pain other than directly to the fork

yeah roy knows his s*** big rx7 fan
are you in south jersey?

I have had my trans worked on three times, last time they completely replaced the trans with a new one. I have less than 14,000 miles on mine. I posted this on this forum and several assholes here were insisting that it was my driving and one guy even hoped the dealer would sue me because I am persueing the lemon law here on mine. I only posted my delimma to help others on this forum. Anyway, good luck. And if anyone reads this who criticized me, F.U.!!

From the "Protege FAQ":

The clutch release fork was also beefed up on the MazdaSpeed Proteg, so
for 3rd generation owners with the 2.0l engine, these parts are also
recommended:
KL03-16-520A clutch release fork
F202-16-102A clutch release fork pin


Hope this helps.

My advice, change the Transmission fluid as soon as possble to Redline Super Light Shock Proof gear oil. After I changed mine to this, I had no more issues. Motorsport Sales in Dallas off TI Blvd and Floyd Cir. is where I get mine.

Has anyone done this to a MP3? Are the dimensions the same?

 

[PaulMP3]

my tranny latley wont let me go into 4th with out letting the clutch in then out again. i had the dealer put redline mt-90 in when i got my LSD put in. I think maybe they didnt put it in. It is still notchy, i think i will have to order some more and do it myself. I hope to get to the dealer by the end of the week.

Has anyone tried putting the MazdaSpeed fork in a non-MazadaSpeed Tranny?

 

[PaulMP3]

Does anyone know if you can adjust the clutch travel, i feel even when ithe pedals at the floor it should be a lil farther down.
