transmission

So the other week I was driving down the road at about 35mph stuck behind someone, I went to pass the person and my transmission lost power. It would rev up to 6000rpm, but no power to the wheels. I put the car into "manual mode" attempting to manually shift the car into a gear, but it just...

Hello all, Just purchased a hard driven MP3 with locked-up tranny as a "first car" for my son. Dropped the tranny, (thanks for write-up on How-to), popped it open and holy-crap, lots of gear pieces ... Long story short, it needs, 4th Primary and Secondary, 5th and 5th Alternate. Looking all...

Hello peers, I've been working on a 2010 Mazda 3 with the 2.5 liter and 6-speed manual. I've been meaning to boost this vehicle but as the tranny was a bit on the weaker side (152k hoonigan miles) I decided it would be wise to start with a fresher tranny. Anyways, fast-forward to last sunday, I...

Doing a clutch job, I decided to replace the rear main seal. When I was putting the seal in, it went in crooked and got stuck. I had to destroy the seal in order to yank it back out. So I'm going to try again with a new seal. But it looks like it would almost be easier to remove the oil seal...

We just got a new 2015 Mazda5 GS with an automatic transmission. I was wondering about the durability of driving it using the manual mode? How aggressive can one be with the manual mode in terms of downshifts, etc? Tips or suggestions? So far, I find I get good results lifting slightly on the...

I have 2006 Mazda 3 with 92,000 miles that I bought new in January 2006. Over the past month, I've noticed that sometimes the AT light goes on, and it won't shift from 3rd gear to 4th gear, despite accelerating. I think sometimes on the interstate, it shifts from 4th to 3rd, and it feels like a...

Hello everyone. I know the majority of you have manuals, but I just wanted to throw this one out there in case there is anyone experienced with sportshifts. The one redeeming quality to my auto is the sportshift feature, which keeps the drive fairly entertaining (although my left foot still gets...

Can anyone give me some advice on my wife's 2008 Mazda 5 Manual transmission? Clutch pedal randomly went to the floor today. No tension whatsoever, and no warning. I'm sure it's something with the master cylinder or slave cylinder, but I can't seem to locate either of them. Should I just cave...

Hi, I have a Mazda 5 with a manual transmission and for few weeks shifting into reverse was hard. But when I was shifting into 5th, then sliding into reverse, it was doing fine. But this week, the 1st and 2nd gear are starting doing something similar. It's hard to get into 1st, most of the time...

Hey everyone... I have a P5 with an auto and the sport shift option. Not as pure as a manual, but the ability to shift makes it a bit more fun than the regular slush box. My question is: Does anyone know of any upgrades that are available for the auto transmissions? Maybe improved valvebodies or...

So, I've been wanting a bit more, aggressive characteristics from my 2012 Skyactiv 3. I was wondering if anyone has installed a light weight flywheel on theirs? How it handled it, do we use the same flywheel as the older 2.0 liter? Does anyone make one that'll fit if we don't? I'm giving it some...
