    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...

    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.

    2015 CX-5 6th Gear Popping Out

    Howdy I purchased a 2015 CX-5 manual transmission in February of 2019 with 28K miles on it, currently at 42K. When i'm cruising down the interstate in 6th gear, it almost always pops out of 6th gear and into neutral, at least once during the drive. Going into 6th is fine and the rest of the...

    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...

    Skyactiv Transmission Fluid Analysis Thread

    I thought it made sense to put this in a separate thread from the regular oil analysis. Anyway I did my first transmission fluid change (3 drain/fill sessions a week apart) starting around 71,200 miles. During the first, I captured a sample and sent it away for analysis. And before you ask, yes...

    2015 CX-5, 61k miles. This morning on the tollway, as I slowed down when reaching the tollhouse, I thought I felt as though the car was in neutral. I paid and as I tried to drive off, I had almost no reaction from the car. It felt as if I only had first gear or as if it was in neutral and was...
