    Final drive gear

    I want to buy the final drive gear that attaches to the differential. I need one to install the mFactory LSD, but since my original is unharmed it makes no sense to ruin it to install the other one. It is sometimes referred to as the ring gear.

    Cold weather behavior

    I noticed that ever since the temperatures have dropped below freezing I have been experiencing difficulty getting the MS3 in gear. When I try to put it in reverse it takes several tries before it finally succeeds. Is this normal for the cold weather? Also my brakes tend to squeak a lot now...

    Rattle/knocking sound mostly when slipping into 1st and 2nd Gear

    I recently bought a 2002 Protege5. Sometimes -- especially on hills -- there is a brief knocking/rattling sound when the car is slipping into 1st or 2nd gear (sometimes I hear it a little going into 3rd and 4th).
