lol I've used that logic to drive the miata before. "Crap, the P5's out of gas... miata has a quarter tank, score!"

 

[vel]

anyone have the issue of third sometimes popping out at low speeds or any speed for that matter???

 

[mx-p5]

Nope, but i have constant grinding and refusing to go into reverse.

 

[justanothermp5]

i sometimes have to let my car stall because it wont let me take it out of reverse
so i just let it stall and then push in the cltuch a couple times and it comes out


maybe i need to change the transmission oil?

Somewhat something to do with the P5...got in touch with the local auto school and they are going to install my Mazdaspeed springs/rear swaybar and change oil/transmition fluid...all I have to pay for is the oil/transmittion fluid...everything else is free...three of my wrestlers that I coach work up there and told me about it...

Also, what are the possitives/negatives to the mazdaspeed front strut bar on the P5's...I picked one up but have read different reviews...thanks for the help...

It's the exact same strut bar that came on the P5, only it's painted Silver iirc.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

yep, no difference. (except the paint color as said)

 

[ScratchNSniff]

I meant sway bar...dang it...

 

[aMaff]

front sway bar? You can keep it. If you can, use the stock front / MSP rear bar, it gives the car a great balance. Also, I've replaced the front sway bar on a protege, and I don't ever want to do so again. And FWIW, it was an experienced Autocrosser that was going back from the MSP front bar to the stocker because it made the thing way too understeery. It was a 5 hour job with 2 people who know their way around a protege, and a 48" crow-bar.....
