lol, that's what it's listed as on the onlinemazdaparts.com when you type in the part number. Had to call Jason there to find out how it was listed again. Checked awhile back but didn't buy the part & just remembered it had some funny name on the web site.
I can install them as soon as they land on my porch, lol. Nice, but we're gonna require pics when done...........I got a set of 35w 8000k HIDs today.. i dont know when i can install them though =(
IIRC, the drivers only went up to w2k unless some new ones snuck out at some point. Not thinkin they even work with xp. Was just gonna use a junk laptop running w2k I have with mine but haven't hooked it up yet even tho I have all the parts now.
Yes, my truck is 5 spd, P5 is sportauto. I haven't down shifted it more than a coupla times by accident from 2 to 1 with higher than cool rpms but like you said wasn't crazy bad due to the limiter action on it. I think it may just be due to the frequency of use not abuse. I use manual mode pretty much all the time except recently when it started to act up a bit. It still goes to 1 when you stop but won't go from 4 to 3 to 2 even when slow enough rpms. I don't use down shifting for engine braking or any craziness with it due to it's known fragileness in oem trim.
