automatic

Hello everyone. I know the majority of you have manuals, but I just wanted to throw this one out there in case there is anyone experienced with sportshifts. The one redeeming quality to my auto is the sportshift feature, which keeps the drive fairly entertaining (although my left foot still gets...

One of the things that I miss that the 2 doesn't have is automatic speed engagement door locks, as well as automatic door lock release upon latch engagement from the inside. Has anyone ever installed an aftermarket sensor to activate the locks? Does anyone know what the release engagement looks...

Hey everyone... I have a P5 with an auto and the sport shift option. Not as pure as a manual, but the ability to shift makes it a bit more fun than the regular slush box. My question is: Does anyone know of any upgrades that are available for the auto transmissions? Maybe improved valvebodies or...

Just thought I would start this thread and then follow up on as it develops next week. I had the windshield replaced this week. First rain found that the automatic wipers no longer work. Went back to dealer today (cheaper than local glass shops-surprise!) and am now told the installer messed...

Hey guys, New member here, been floating around for a while till I finally decided to join. I've had a P5 with the sport auto for a while, and I know the gigantic leather shift knob screws off. Problem is, the shifter stalk is so tall that putting a less obnoxious knob looks funky because the...

This was my first car and I finished paying it off this year so I wanted to have some fun. I have a large income and wanted to throw money into this vehicle but don't wanna go as far as changing the transmission. The car has "paddle shift" so I've heard and here's what I have on it so far: -AEM...

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I just bought myself a 2002 Mazda Protege ES with 141k miles, power everything and sunroof for $2000 (has some rust on rear quarter panels). I am very new to little cars as my only other car right now is a moderately modified dodge cummins. Getting 17mpg wasn't...

Emotional state: (sadbanana) The story: I've got a 2003 Protoge5 (~135,000km) with a sport shift, that shiftronic pseudo-manual automatic deal-e-o. I took it in to JiffyLube: oil was low (got the synthetic), tranny fluid was fine. I got both flushed, just because. A couple days later the check...

Hey everyone, looking around to see if anyone has had similar issues with their Mazda3. I have a 2013 Mazda3 i Touring AT with less than 2000 miles on it. I have noticed that the transmission slips. For example, when I back out of a parking spot and put it into drive, it will often rev like...

I've had my Mazda Protege for 8 years now. I love this little car. Recently, I had the following happen to me, on two separate occasions, while on the highway. I would be driving along when the car would spontaneously shift into 3rd gear, and the battery light would come on. The first time...

I have a new (to me) 2010 CX-7 GT - when I have the headlights set on auto, during daylight hours I can barely see the Nav screen or anything on the dashboard! I have already turned the brightness up as far as it will go... but I have to turn off the light switch to be able to see the dash...

I have a Spicy MSP. I am the second owner, I have had it for 4 years and it has 102k miles on it. I just put in a new clutch and suspension. The car is in great condition. I live in the city and the thing that bothers me most is having a 5 speed to deal with. Could I or should I convert it to an...

Hey Mods, please put this in the correct area. Thanks. All, (*this is Sanblasters' brother*) I bought a 2010 mazda 3i and it came on the low end with accessories (just auto windows). I took it to a local shop to get automatic locks and a starter installed, and was told they have problems...
