    Manual Transmission Shifting Issues

    I've been fighting some shifting issues with my 200k mile 2015 Manual CX5. It started with shifter movement with changes in acceleration and notchy gears and has been getting worse. It's totally out of commission now, I haven't been able to get it in reverse, 2nd or 4th at all now (this...

    Transmission question

    I have a 2024 CX 5 GS bought it brand new and it has 19,000 kms on it. The transmission is great BUT sometimes if I am coasting at a very low speed then give it gas it feels like it clunks into going or gear I do not know if this is normal but its making me a little unnerving at times. It is not...

    Weird transmission behavior?

    I have a 2022 Mazda3 2.5L NA automatic. sometimes i notice when I'm attempting to accelerate that my rpm will spike (downshifting) almost 2 whole seconds before i actually accelerate, sometimes more. What is with this delay? Is it normal? - sometimes when i press down the gas to accelerate, the...

    How difficult is it to replace a M/T Pivot Shaft Oil Seal GC0117131A?

    I posted earlier this year about a mysterious fluid leak, but I wasn't in a good spot to actually fix anything. It turns out that it was transmission fluid/gear oil from the base of the shift linkage/pivot shaft. An OEM GC01-17-131A...

    Anyone get their transmission computer updated?

    Like going in to get the ECU/TCU with updates? I hate how ours shifts and it is probably the original software from 2018.

    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...

    Get firmer shifts with FN4A-EL automatic transmission (theory)

    The main flaw of the automatic that causes premature failure of the band and 3-4 friction pack is low line pressure. under heavy acceleration, the slip time of the frictions simply produces too much heat for the relatively low amount of frictions and under-cooled transmission fluid to absorb...

    Who has changed their transmission fluid?

    My 2022 CX-9 has 55k miles. Seems like I should do a transmission fluid change. Who did it and how many quarts of new fluid did you need? Did you just drain the fluid or also change the filter? I don’t think Mazda makes a new pan gasket so do you make one of your own?
