clutch

I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...

I cant find info anywhere. Im doing a full build on my MSP, bore .020, forged crank, forged eagle rods, forged wiseco pistons, stage3 clutch, ARP head studs and bolts, AEM management(replacing SplitSecond), 440cc injectors, possibly 255lph fuel pump. Gonna be looking at about 400hp/380ftlbs...

Can anyone give a good explanation or post a pic of where the bolt is that attaches the cluch master cylinder INSIDE the cabin? On the firewall? The only bolt I could see it being is a long rod attached to the clutch pedal, but I've loosened that quite a bit and the m.c. isn't wiggling at all...

Another trip to the dealer, another question to the forum. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I myself don't know much about this stuff, I don't know anyone that does, and I haven't been able to find a trusted mechanic in my area (Nyack, NY). Hence, I get everything done at the dealer, and...

Alright guys so I've been doing a lot of searching on the forums to find exactly what my problem might be and it seems like its been addressed but not really answered. There are two things that happen in my car that make me think its either a clutch issue or one of my forks. It usually happens...

Alright so i know its probably not an immediate danger but I know it is most likely a sign that something is in the long run going to fail. So I was wondering what you all might have experienced. Anyways my problem is that when my car eventually gets at operating temp, and when i switch gears...

Now that the temperatures in the Midwest have dropped to around 10F the clutch pedal on my 2010, 3, 2.5, 6speed seems to not return to the normal position as quickly as it did when it was warmer (>20F). Has anyone experienced this situation and resolved it? If so how? Thanks!

So i've been having trouble with my clutch engaging, having to pump it to get into gear. Read that it is either the slave or master cylinder causing it, or possibly air in the line. I took off the slave cylinder to reverse bleed it and thats when i noticed that the plunger isnt plunging. I...

hey guys new to the forum, have seen alot of diy stuff cant wait doing my own work :) .\ now for my real problem, i bought the car in august from a car auction house for 2500 but it had some issues so i got few things changed which ended up in me spending 4500 in total. what has been...

Hey I know this might sound like a noob question but Im kind of confused on one thing. I swapped out my transmission fluid a few months ago, and I'm having my mechanic friend switch out the brake fluid on my car tomorrow. I saw on some threads that there is also clutch fluid? Someone also...

I haven't really found anything on this very specific, but very obvious, issue I've noticed in my 2011 Mazda2 Touring MT (~56K). I first noticed it a while ago, predominantly when coasting downhill, foot on the brake and clutch and I hit a bump. At that exact moment, it almost feels like the...

Alright so here is the deal, i have a 2003.5 MSP #88 and well....idles just fine but as soon as i push in the clutch, it stalls out to either 100rpm - 200rpm or it dies. There use to be a vibration in the clutch but i was told by my trans shop that it was the springs on the plate. so i had the...

My introduction to serious posting lol! Yah! Tell ya a little about myself; I'm an apprentice Auto Technician living in Edmonton, AB working at Toyota. So I'm building up an N/A Yellow PR5 on a budget. These cars are awesome, I've never owned a sportier 4cylinder vehicle thus I've decided to...

LOWERED PRICE! i bought this for my 06 rx-8 back in early 2009 when i was in the military. i ended up getting stationed overseas and its been sitting in my brothers garage since. i just got back to the states about 2 months ago and i dont own an rx-8 anymore. (i have a ms3) its been sitting for...

I'm cleaning out my garage, sold my MSP 3 years ago (what a sweet car, kept it for 7 years), and have some parts to sell. I have a brand new throwout bearing and pilot bearing, both for $55 shipped to continental USA. All of these are genuine Mazda parts in their factory packaging. See pics...

any ideas? im thinking about a act stage 2, but im not sure if in the future if i will exceed the torque specs of that clutch. idk im just thinking at this point.

Pulled into a customers driveway earlier today, pushed the clutch and it went straight to the floor. Did my work and came back out, still has no pressure. I managed to get it home (30 miles), by starting off in first then turning the engine over. I checked all the lines, clutch master...

I've got a manual 2002 MP5 that needs an engine. Is there a difference between an automatic trans engine and a manual trans engine. Can I pull any 2.0 engine and mate my 5 speed transmission? What is a good price for a low mileage engine USD? Also, since I'll have the engine out, what are some...

I have an 02 Mazda Protege ES, 2 liter, clutch is going out. I want a more heavy duty clutch. I don't know anything about specs so I'll tell you how I drive and what I want to do to my car. I need suggestions on what clutch to buy before my old one goes out for good. I like racing, going fast...

Hey guys, I'm going to replace my clutch within the next month. I'll be getting a clutch kit off of rock auto. So my question is, is the Mazdaspeed clutch kit interchangeable with a P5? I have an idea that it would be but the part numbers for a "Sachs" clutch on rock auto is different: P5 -...
