    2007~2015 CX-9 Transmission drain/fill, only a single drain plug (no inner/outer)?

    Does anyone know if any of the first gen CX9's came without an inner/outer drain plug setup? Just bought my '09 in July and started getting some shudder in gears 4-6 between 1,500 - 2K RPM in late October. Just drained and getting to refill, but found I only had a single (T40) plug I can't...

    How many Drain & Fills before full transmission/filter service?

    Did search here; it helped. Our 2019 CX-5 we got new. Now 66,000 miles, and mechanic and I talked. He suggested pull drain plug, drain and refill ATF. Then, a little later do full service. I went to Foothills Mazda dealer in Spokane and asked, "Parts," man how much fluid to buy. He said 4...

    No Manual Mode

    Yesterday morning I took my Signature in for the 85,000 kilometer maintenance. It's about twenty kilometers to the dealership and I found I couldn't engage manual mode. I like to downshift to second on some downhill stretches to keep off the brakes a bit. I tried several times but the car just...

    2007~2015 CX-9 Transmission Drain and Fill

    Bought a 2008 cx9 w/148k a couple of months ago. With very few service records and information about transmission service, I went ahead and did its first drain and fill. The fluid is scary lol. I was experiencing weird shifts and sputtering sometimes in 4th and in 6th once in awhile. Now, after...

    Should I be resetting the transmission shift pattern?

    Hi! I just got my 2017 CX-5 this morning. First Mazda, super stoked. Question - should I be doing a transmission reset as described in this video: I don't have any issues, but I'd like it to me "my own" if that makes sense. Thanks everyone!

    2013~2016 CX-5 Transmission mechanic recommendations

    My first post here. My wife’s 2016 CX-5 just hit 90k miles. Our dealer mechanic will not service the transmission. Anyone have a mechanic in the Seattle WA area they have taken their CX-5 to for a service? Due to having a bad back and my job I can’t do this myself. I really need a place where...

    Transmission pan filter change at 159K miles

    The first fluid drain/fill was at 153K miles. Two more rounds of drain/fill were done before 155K miles. Decided to replace the filter and reseal the pan because there was a leak from the corner seam. What took me the longest was to scrape off the pink RTV residue from the transmission and pan...

    2018 CX-5 GT Transmission Replaced - High pitched whine

    Figured it would be a good idea to document this on a forum in case others have the same issue. We bought a 2018 CX-5 GT with about 35,000kms on the clock just under 11 months ago. Right off the jump my wife told me that the car has a high pitched electronic-sounding whine on the highway. To...

    CX-60 timing and transmission details

    It looks like the 4cyl plug-in hybrid is coming first with the gas Skyactiv-x not arriving until 2023. I hope the CX-90 inline-6 is also not delayed. There are also some interesting comments regarding the 8-speed Auto...

    Liqui Moly ATF 1800 for CX-5

    Has anyone used this fluid? Specifically lists Mazda FZ transmission as being compatible. Rockauto sells it 1 Liter bottles for under $6. I bought 4 quarts to do a drain and fill and was wondering if anyone else has tried it.

    Do some Mazda dealers have a non pressurized ATF flush?

    I've been looking into getting my ATF changed. 2015 Mazda 3, 52000 mi, just purchased used. Instinctively I'm afraid of a flush, but a drain and fill isn't cheap if I don't do it myself. There's two Mazda dealers near me. One has given me several different answers but basically they can only...
